Windows 10: How to view the activity log of Parent controls WpcMonSvc?

Hi.


I'm using Microsoft family safety to control my son's computer usage.

I found he sneaks to extend screen time. sometimes, he skips school because he doesn't sleep over night. crazy.


I'm sure he does not have admin privilege. I'm doubting he knows his mom's Parent password on Microsoft family. She barely changes her password.

I guess he extends time from his laptop by pressing 'My parent here' and putting his mom's password.




Is there any log about how the time is extended? for example, 'Time extended by **** at **** for **** minutes', like this?

I try to find it from event log but no luck.


Please help me.

Jin.

Parental Controls aren't working

Hi,

The issue could be because of corrupted files. I suggest you to delete the corrupted files yourself and see if it helps

to resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

1) Make sure your children are signed out of any monitored accounts.

2) Sign in with an administrator account and find the folder that contains the corrupted files.

There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to enter the complete file path:

• 
  On the Start screen, type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press Enter.
  

• 
  If you’d rather open each folder individually, follow these steps:
  

a. Go to This PC

b. Open C:, open the
ProgramData folder, open the Microsoft folder, open the
Windows folder, and open the Parental Controls folder.

3) Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.

This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.

Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further. Thank you

Xbox one parental control problems

Hi AderallAdmiral,

Xbox One safety features enable you to control what kinds of content each of your family members can access on Xbox One by providing parental controls to child Xbox account.
To give you an idea, child Xbox accounts needs to have a parent Xbox account associated to give parental controls. If your account is requesting a parental control, there's a possibility that your account is a child Xbox account which is added
to the Xbox Family on the old Xbox One. Regarding your concern, let's try to confirm if your account is a child account or an adult account. Kindly sign into
https://account.microsoft.com, then go to
Family tab. You should be able to see the parent account associated.

If the parent account associated is available, I suggest that you sign in the parent Xbox account on the console to allow your child Xbox account to make a purchase or play multiplayer. You may refer to this
link as your guide on how you can manage the privacy and online safety settings of the child Xbox account.

If your account is already an adult Xbox account and no parent account associated, I suggest that you change your privacy and online safety by signing on to your Xbox account on the Xbox One and perform the following steps:

• From Home, go to Settings > All Settings.
• Under Privacy & online safety, select Xbox Live privacy.
• Choose a default, or customize your settings by selecting View details & customize.
• Restart your console once you're done.

Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.
