    Microsoft Family Features blocking important websites without reason.


    I'm a student and programmer. My family installed the Microsoft Family Features recently. However, I notice websites randomly being blocked. Sometimes I can access it once or twice but the next day I find it blocked, or random links/pages on websites that are completely harmless and only that specific page on a site get blocked. It also blocks applications that are very important for no reason. For example, other web browsers. Using them are important as a web developer and it sucks having to just use Edge even though it is a great browser for general use. It just doesn't have the privacy, per

    Family Features Blocking Chrome on Adult Account

    Hello,

    Best that we could suggest here as an easy fix is to have the Family feature administrator remove your account from the list. Feel free to check out
    this link from our support website for steps on how to do so.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Hi,

    Microsoft Family Safety is a free parental monitoring app to help make it easier to keep your kids safe online. With Family Safety, you can give them some independence but still keep tabs on their computer activities. Family Safety allows you to:

    • See which websites your kids have visited, and which apps and games they’ve used
    • Block or allow websites, apps, games, or other content.
    • Limit the amount of time they can spend on the PC

    Since you never set up Microsoft family features on your computer, we suggest that you follow the steps on this

    link
    to turn off the family settings in Windows 10.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
