    Family safety time limit on a group of apps


    I have several apps installed on the computer of my kids and would like to set time limits on a group of apps. As an example I have the apps game1, game2 and game3. What I easily can do with Microsoft family safety is to set limit of one hour for game1, one hour for game2 and 1 hour for game3. This would result in my kids to be allowed to play 3 hours. What I would like is to set a time limit of one hour for the sum of time spent in game1, game2 or game3.Is this possible, and fi so, how can I do this?Thanks and best wishes.

    :)

    Windows 10 Family Safety time limits not working

    I had this exact problem and these are the steps I took to get the issue resolved:

    • Navigate to family safety settings and remove the child from the family having issues.
    • Login to the childs account and launch Settings (windows key + i)
    • Click the Accounts icon and select Sign in with local account instead
    • Follow the steps to change to a local account. When completed, Login back to your account (admin account)
    • Go back to the family safety settings and add your child back to the family group.
    • Access your childs email address to accept the family invitation
    • Verify the child now shows properly in the family settings and that the screen times are still correct.
    • Login to the childs account and launch Settings (windows key + i)
    • Click the Accounts icon and select Sign in with microsoft account instead
    • Your family settings should now take affect.

    I know this is pretty tedious, but like I said, it worked for me. If you are still having trouble, I suggest contacting support and they can help walk you through the steps to get it resolved.
