    Family Safety continually stops working


    Every month or so, Family Safety will lose its connection with the service, in a manner of speaking. The computer reports no problems: it claims everything is being monitored like normal and all accounts are linked. The Family Safety website shows all restrictions, but no activity monitoring. No restrictions are *actually* being applied to the computer either--my brother is limited to 30 minutes per day, but the computer doesn't enforce or recognize that.

    Is there a way to "reconnect" the computer with Family Safety? The only way I was able to solve this in the past was by completely reinstalling Windows, but that's ridiculous.

    :)

    Everytime the computer is turned on, a popup shows that says "your device activity is reported to a family member".

    Original Title - family monitoring

    I am using family safety feature of windows 10. It works to monitor computer activity of my son from his ASUS windows 10 computer. However, everytime the computer is turned on, a popup shows that says "your device activity is reported to a family member".
    Is there a way to stop this popup and still continue monitoring his computer?
