    Microsoft Family Features timing out after time limit removed


    1. I have updated the computer.

    2. I have turned off screen time limits

    3. I have turned off App specific restrictions

    4. After doing all of the above, I restarted the computer


    Firefox is STILL restricted forcing my child to ask for permission, which can only be granted on 3 hour blocks which does NOT work for them doing school or me working in a secure facility without internet access, and my 70 year old mother should not be forced to troubleshoot a tech issue that SHOULD be disabled.


    How do I permanently disable Firefox from being blocked by Windows.

    :)

  3. Time limits in Microsoft Family

    Hello HalloSturmhorst,

    I recommend that you try the following steps to troubleshoot Family issues:

    1. Remove the child account from your Microsoft Family account and add it back.

    2. Go to your adult account on the Family page, and toggle off/on time set limits for your son account.

    If you need more information about troubleshooting family issues, use this link to read the forum article.
