    family safety app not working any more


    I installed the Family safety app on my phone. I was able to block certina apps on my child phone AND computer. Suddelny it stopped working and I can set a time limit or block it. We tried to delete parental control files on his computer but that did not work. Pls let us know how to fix it.

    :)

    Family Safety doesn't work on power saver

    I tried everything you suggested, but nothing worked. I think the problem is that power saver restricts running Family Safety and other apps from running in the background. I can manually enable an app in the Settings, but there's no such app like Family
    Safety in the list.

    family safety app not working any more

    Microsoft family safety not working--at all.

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconveniece caused to you. Let me help you.



    Before we proceed, we require more information to assist you better.

    • Which web browser are you using?
    • Are the settings on the Family Safety options on your computer are the same with the one on
      http://familysafety.live.com?


    I suggest you to login with your parental account and check if you are able to manage the family settings.



    If the issue still persist, it might appears that the Child account is not configure correctly. I suggest you to remove the Family Safety and configure it again.

    How do I remove Family Safety?

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/family-safety-remove-uninstall-faq



    Now, setup Family Safety.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/set-up-family-safety#set-up-family-safety=windows-8



    After creating the child account, you can then go to the Family Safety website, login using the parent account and then manage your child's restrictions and monitoring options.



    Refer the following Microsoft help article.

    Note: The steps for Windows 8/8.1 applies to Windows 10



    I hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
