Windows 10: How do I set different screen time limits for different devices?

I'm running Windows 10 and Family Safety. My son uses a desktop for gaming and a laptop for schoolwork. I would like to set his desktop to have limited screen time hours, say 2 hours in the evening.

Both devices are registered in his Family Safety account, but they are forced to have the same screen time schedule. When I turn off the option to "Use one schedule on all devices" it still does not allow different schedules on different Windows 10 devices. It looks like it may allow a different schedule for XBox vs Windows, but not for different Windows devices.

In the Microsoft website it states the following when describing this feature (emphasis added):

"Screen time limits in Microsoft Family Safety are a great way to balance online habits within your family group. Decide when and for how long family members can use their connected Windows, Xbox and mobile devices. Limits can be as specific as you need them to be - use a different schedule daily or the same one all week. Adjust as you go by allowing more time or deciding when time’s up. You can even set limits on specific devices!"

Is this false advertising? How do I set limits on specific devices?

 

Screen shut down at different intervals

Thank you Ron; but that is the first thing I did when I installed the operating system. That was the fist thing I did on any operating system I installed. Even though, I did it again just to make sure; no luck. Besides, the screen "shuts off" at different
times. I believe it a Malware program. Any suggestions?

I appreciate your help,

David

 

Screen shut down at different intervals

Hi David,

This has something to do with the Display settings of your Computer.

To set when the Turn off the Display, follow the steps below:

• Click the Start button on the desktop, then select Settings.
• Open PC and devices (or System).
• Select Power and sleep.
• Under Screen, choose Never from the dropdown list.
  

This should prevent your screen from turning off at different intervals.

Regards.
