    Family Safety: Prevent Application Launches?


    Clue me in.....

    Does the windows 10 family Safety, actually allow you to block all apps except for the ones you allow your child to run?

    It's not clear from their site verbiage on whether you can only block apps that show in the "recent history" (ie run at least once), or even if it's only MS store bought apps.

    (FYI: you could do this in Win7)

    thanks.

    :)

    Original Title: Prevent switching to local account

    I have a windows 10 computer with family safety setup. Simply my child is able to circumvent family safety by switching to local account instead of microsoft account.
