Windows 10: Microsoft Family Features gives me a time lock in my browser. Can someone please help me?

Good morning, everyone!

When I wanted to work on my PC this morning (because of e-learning) a message came up that I can't open my internet browser (Opera GX). When I asked my father about this, he said that he didn't know anything about it either. After about 2 minutes I could open the browser. Then I got the message that the browser will lock again at 12:25. Now, about 1-2 hours later I got the message that the browser will lock again in 1.5 hours.

None of this has ever happened before. Neither my parents nor I can turn it off.

If anyone can help me, please do so before 12:25!

:)

 

Having Problems with Microsoft Family Features and my Browsers

Thank you for the reply. I have tried the method described in the two articles above, but have gotten no results. However, I have managed to get my browsers to work now. I looked through the forum article link you provided, and tried the link under
"Fix common child account issues".

Thanks for the help! Btw, are the two links about the family features/settings supposed to lead to the same article?

I'll also update if I run into any more relevant problems.
