Windows 10: How to block a kid from changing their own age?

Microsoft Family provides nice tools to control kid's screen time.


However, there is an easy way to workaround this by leaving one's family from your own account.

A good thing is that a kid under 18 doesn't have this option.


However, nothing prevents a kid from modifying their own age from their profile...


So you don't need to be a very smart kid to remove yourself from the family. However, it seems like you need to be a quite smart adult to prevent them to do so.


I am curious to know if someone devised a way out of this.


Of course, I am also curious to know if Microsoft Family product management team will consider adding a feature whereby a kid wouldn't be able to modify their age by themselves...which arguably defeats the whole purpose of age-based control. However, things being as they are, I am sure someone has thought of a smart way to overcome this conundrum.

Windows Phone 8 - Kids Corner Backdoor to Internet

• Is there a way to dissable access to Internet Explorer entirely from within Kids Corner?

This way if a game has a link to a webpage or youtube video the kid pressing that button can't get to it.



I will post the suggestion at the feature suggestions page. But to me this sounds more like a flaw in the Kids Corner coding and should be patched.

• Is there another forum I should post to in order to raise additional awareness?
