  1. Family Safety - not working at all


    Hello



    I have noticed that Family Safety no longer works reliably on Windows 10.

    Every time I set it up it works for up to a couple of days. It then stops.

    One laptop shows limits off, the other's schedule reverts to 12hr limit, every day of the week.

    2 hours limit Mon-Fri is no longer being enforced.

    both laptops have child's standard user and I am the only Administrator user on them. therefore they are not able to end any process on a laptop or run any admin program or feature.

    Laptops have all security updates on. reporting works OK.

    I suspected the children to somehow log in via cached session but it was not the case - 2FA has been enabled.


    Is there a way 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.
