  1. Family Safety Doesn't Lock Device When Lock is Prompted


    When I manually lock my son's device Windows 11 laptop, he can still use it as if nothing has changed. Also, the laptop does not lock down when any limits are met i.e. length of time, lcok-out hours, etc.. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  2. Family Safety unlinking device doesn' t work

    When I was just browsing trough the internet, I accidentally connected my laptop to my microsoft account. (I use 2 laptops and this one isn' t supposed to be connected to my account)

    I have tried to search up ways to undo this, with no succes. It still shows up in my Microsoft Family Safety devices-list. I don' t know how to fix this.

    It would be grately appreciated if someone could show me a way to do this.

    Thanks, Sophie

  3. Windows 10 Family Safety: Time limits and screen locking

    I recently set up my son's computer with family safety, and I have him limited to 3 hours of total screen time per weekday. I have told him that when he gets up to go outside, eat, or whatever to lock his computer - but it appears that the time he's away is counting toward his total time as well, which defeats the purpose of screen locking IMO. I've scoured Microsoft and the forums to see if screen lock time counts toward computer time in the family safety feature, but have found absolutely nothing. Does anyone out there know for sure, and if so can you post references?
    Thanks.

    Family Safety app no longer working with child's device

    The same thing happened to me yesterday. The computer locked up and would no longer work as it had with family settings. The only way for me to get access was to safe boot and use a previous restore point.

    Once I did that I made sure the child's account was set to standard user and mine as administrator. The computer works fine but no longer reacts to any of the screen time or lock device settings from Family safety app or website.

    I can see the device and child account on the Microsoft Family Safety page and it is reporting actual usage, apps, times, etc. It just does not acknowledge time limits or lock requests.

    Any suggestions?
