  1. I have turned off app time limits for my son but he is still being limited


    I had at one point turned on app time limits but I have since turned them off. But he is still getting blocked and has to request additional time from me.


    How do I fix this?


    Thanks.

    Microsoft Family does not limit my sons time on his computer

    I have got Microsoft Family on my sons computer. I have set screentime limits. I have not set any app limits yet. The PC runs Windows 10.

    Every day I get "your son would like more screen time". Only ONCE has it ever locked him out. He has limits of 3 hours per day on the computer. At the end of the week I get the very nice report as to how much time he has spent on his computer. It suggests
    that screentime for last week was 110 hours.

    So how is that possible on 3 hours per day? It's not. The system just DOES NOT work.

    Regards,

    Simon
