    How to stop child accounts in family from being able to install apps on pc


    I have recently purchased two new windows 10 laptops for our kids to use for school.


    I have added them to my Microsoft family and setup as many restrictions as I can find, however,

    how do I prevent them from being able to install apps, add accounts, add email addresses etc to the laptops?

    :)

  3. Not Tracking Web Browsing Activity on Child Account

    Hello,

    I had already read that article and tried all those steps mentioned before posting on this forum. Nothing worked. I am still not able to see the web activity on my child's account.

    I have already verified that the Family Safety Service is connected to my PC and that my child has the PC listed as a device on their account. My child's account is listed as "child" on my PC account settings. When I sign into the child's account, I have
    verified that Family Safe Monitoring is running because the icon is in the task bar.

    This response was not helpful, because as I stated in my original post, I had already read several articles on troubleshooting this issue and nothing worked.

    Can you offer me other suggestions that are not mentioned in that Wiki Article?
