    Microsoft Family Keeps Blocking App


    My Microsoft family keeps blocking apps and installation that is done on my child’s account even when I have not set any restrictions on apps.How can I prevent parent permission to be constantly sought whenever my child launches certain downloaded files?

  2. Microsoft Family not blocking Apps

    Hi,

    Microsoft family features are designed to help you keep tabs on your kids' computer and online activities. If your child uses a PC or Xbox, you may already have set up a family in order to use parental controls. To isolate the issue, please answer the following
    questions:

    • Is the app blocked under the child account when you set up My Family?
    • Can you send us a screenshot showing your Family settings?

    We're looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

  3. How to block a specific app using family settings

    Hi,

    Blocking specific apps is possible with the Microsoft Account's Family Safety Feature. To block a specific application on your child's account, it is a requirement that the app must be used by your child, so that it will appear in under the Recent Activity
    list. For your child's security, you can log in as the child and launch the app to satisfy this requirement.

    Follow these steps to successfully block specific applications:

    • Visit the Microsoft Family website and then sign in your Microsoft Account.
    • Click the account of the child that you want to block from using an app.
    • Select Recent Activity.
    • Click to ensure that Activity Reporting is turned on.
    • Scroll down and look for Apps & Games.
    • Choose the apps that you want to block on your child's account.
    • Click Block to block usage of the app.

    If further assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
