Family Safety, More Time Email and Activity Report

Thanks for the update on the current status of your concern and for providing the additional details we requested. Regarding the settings that you need to change in family safety, we suggest that if your email account is designated as an adult in family
safety to first remove your account then re-add it with the necessary notification settings for the child account. Doing this steps will refresh your email account and will also refresh the notifications that are supposed to be sent to your email.

[Family Safety] Is it possible to disable email notifications for "more time" requests?

My name is Kenneth. I am an Independent Advisor and fellow consumer of Microsoft products, I will be more than happy to help you. I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Have had the same issue before please try the methods below I listed Disabling first and then removing family settings completely second if that is what your looking for.

Disabling Screen Time Requests:

You should be able to disable email notifications for screen time requests from the Microsoft Family website. Here's how:

Go to the Microsoft Family website (https://family.microsoft.com/).

Sign in with your Microsoft account.

Click on the "Manage family settings" button.

In the left-hand menu, click on "Notifications."

Under "Screen time requests," toggle the switch to "Off."

Click on the "Save" button to apply the changes.

This should disable email notifications for screen time requests. You should still be able to see and manage screen time requests using the Family app on your phone or tablet. If disabling does not work correctly most suggested blocking those emails.

Removing Family Settings Completely:

If you would like to remove family safety settings completely follow the steps below:

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps you regarding the family safety settings.

Turn off family settings in Windows 10

To turn off family settings for a child in your family, sign in at account.microsoft.com/family. Then choose one of these options:

Remove them from family settings by choosing Remove, then selecting their account, then selecting Remove again. They’ll still be able to sign in to their PCs, but this will remove any family limits that you set.

Or select them from the main family page, which will bring you to their Recent activity. If Activity reporting is turned On, turn it Off. Then repeat for the other settings pages (Web browsing, Apps, games & media, Screen time, Purchase & spending), making sure that those switches are turned Off.

I hope this helps, please feel free to reply to this if you need any further Assistance.

Kindly,

Kenneth

Family Safety- Inaccurate Screen time extension usage

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community.

We understand the frustration when things don't go the way they supposed to. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

From the description provided, I understand that the screen time usage is inaccurate for the child account/s you are referring to.

Please follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1

Now, as an initial recommendation, I suggest you to view and check the family settings for the child by signing in to the Microsoft account using a browser.

Account security and Online safety.

https://account.microsoft.com/privacy

You may change the More security settings under account security and
family safety settings/Manage permissions for children under Online safety in the above link.

In another scenario, these three questions might help you to identify on the issue.

1) How does the child ask for an extension?

2) How does the parent provide an extension?

3) What is the number of hours allowed for that given day when you login as a parent associated to the family?

Method 2

If it still does not help, I suggest you to remove the child account from your Microsoft Family Safety settings and check if it is the Family Safety feature which is preventing the child account to access Office products.

Follow the below steps.

• 
  From a web browser, go to
  http://account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with the Microsoft account of an adult in the family.
  
• 
  To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled
  Select a child to view or edit their settings.
  
• Select the person you want to remove from the family
• Select the Remove button that appears when you've chosen the person to remove.
  

Ref: How do I turn off family features?

Method 3

• Open the File Explorer, navigate to the location:
  
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls
  
• Inside the Parental Controls folder, delete all contents including any files and folders.
• Sign out and then sign in again to re-build the setting data.

Additionally, I also suggest you to visit to the below link on Family Safety

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/family

Refer to the section Set limits for your child.

Also refer to the section 'How can I tell if the Family Safety service is connected to my PC and set up correctly?' in the article provided.
