Parental Controls/Time Limits not synching properly

I am setting up a new pc for my son and the time limit parental controls WILL NOT sync with the new pc no matter what I do. I have done this before with other devices (pcs and laptops) with him and other children and have never had this difficulty. App
restrictions are working - I blocked Edge as an experiment and that worked, However, these are not working completely, for example: Google Chrome still hasn't showed up on the App list even though I installed it yesterday. Help!

 

Parental Control: Screen Time Glitch (Laptops + disconnected Charger)

Parental control screen time does not apply unless the laptop is charging. I can log in outside the time limit that I set as long as the laptop is disconnected from the charger.

Can't seem to find any answers online. Is anyone else having this problem?
