Enableing downloads on family safety account

Hi Prathu,

Please be informed, that if any website is restricted to the child account whenever the child tries to access a website or app that is above the rating you set in Family Safety, the website or app will be blocked.

The website is listed as suspicious which has stricter web filtering settings, will be blocked.
And that website appears on the suspicious sites list.

Hence, the option to enable downloads in restricted sites is not allowed.

Family Safety is not updating new downloaded apps or showing screen time used,

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

It sounds like you have already tried several troubleshooting steps, but here are a few additional suggestions that may help:

Ensure that Family Safety is up-to-date: Make sure that the Family Safety feature is updated to the latest version. You can check for updates in the Microsoft Store.

Check the Family Safety settings: Make sure that the Family Safety settings are configured correctly. You can access the Family Safety settings by going to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.

Use the Microsoft Edge browser: Encourage your children to use the Microsoft Edge browser instead of other browsers. The Family Safety feature may not work as well with other browsers.

Check the activity report: The activity report can provide more detailed information about your children's screen time and app usage. You can access the activity report by going to account.microsoft.com/family and signing in with your Microsoft account.

Allow time for updates: It can take some time for Family Safety to update with new app information and screen time data. Make sure to wait at least 24 hours after downloading a new app or using the computer before checking the data in Family Safety.

I hope these suggestions are helpful in resolving your issue. Good luck!
