Windows 10: How to disable Microsoft Family screen time warning: your time is up in 5 or 15 Minutes?

Hi,I was searching for a proper solution to disable my kid's parental controlled computer screen time warning popups.There are two comming, when time is running out: one 15 MInutes and another one 2 Minutes before time is up.Now, It's actually a cool feature, BUT: When my kid is playing any game and guess, what do kids most times on their computer - haha it totally interrupts the game play, controller not working directly after clicking the message etc. Fortnate is one of those games.You can consider this question a super important missing feature: Hide 15-Minutes or even 2-Minutes time warn

:)

 

Family Safe Screen time

I am currently looking at a different solution, Microsoft Family is a step backwards.

It does give you warning at 15 minutes and 2 minutes, not sure this would be visible if you were in a full screen game though.

It locks the user account, it does not log them out or showdown the computer.

But you no longer have an option to temporary extend time with a parents permission.

I adjusted my sons time limits 4 days ago, as it is a school holiday, and it still has not come in to affect, and Microsoft say they have no tools to help support the product

The words used by a support agent were "I would love to assist you on this, however we don’t have the right tools to fix the issue for you"

So now I have an account I can not log into during the day, because of Microsoft Family settings are not updating correctly and Microsoft can not help me fix it!

Change or disable the 15 min screen time warning - parental control

Hi!

I set up screen time for my children in win10. It works fine. Thou its very annoying when we play togehter, and the 15 min warning pops up to them (to save their thing), when we play. Is it possible to change the warning from 15 min to 2 min or disable it.
Maybe through regedit!?

Thx
