    My 9 year old son is part of the family group. Everytime he tries to launch the Xbox app, it says to email for permission, and everytime I approve it, nothing happens, he does not get approval and the app when I try to open tell him to ask again. How can I fix this?

    :)

    Family Safety Approval

    I have suggested an update to Microsoft concerning the functions of approvals and requests (ALT-SHIFT-I) and am waiting to see if there will be an update for Microsoft Family Safety. I'm afraid I wasn't able to access the other websites due to my current restrictions, but I do thank you for continuing to try to help me. At this point, I believe that it is up to executives (or whatever position determines updates) to fix the problem.

    Thank you for responding to my question, however I seem to still be having problems. My family has reset everything on Family Safety multiple times. It seems that I also happened to forget to tell you that with the factor of asking for permission on the MS Edge browser also does not tell me just when I have received approval for one of my requests. Sometimes I can see that the computer has processed the approval and I can go on to the next site, however this only happens when the loading circle on the cursor pops up, and unfortunately this does not happen frequently. Might I ask that if you still are able to recommend a feature in which the browser page shows a checkmark or something that signifies approval to let us know when our request has been approved? Thank you again for trying to help me, I look forward to your response.

    Family Safety Approval

    The browser runs fine and I am able to use it and certain websites (so long as I have received permission) but the problem is truly that there is no definite way to know if your request has been approved. Here's a scenario to help visualize the problem:

    One day my parent is away from home and I am working on school at home. So, I have to send a request for permission and I do. My parent approves the request, but without any normal form of telecommunication, I can not tell when my request has been approved. There is no dialogue box that pops up and says "your request has been approved" or something along those lines. I cannot know when or if my request has been approved.

    I would like to recommend a feature with a dialogue box to be added to Microsoft Family Safety, that way; those under the child permissions are able to know whether or not they have had a request approved.

    Thank you for your continued help and congratulations on your ten year reign as the Microsoft MVP. Keep up the good work.
