Windows 10: /Microsoft Family Safety Content Restrictions does not allow Chrome to work at all

To be fair. I want to have parental controls on windows and Microsoft edge turned on. I also have Google family running separately for google software. My kid uses google Chrome for school, google docs for school, and uses chrome accounts and apps that need chrome.


I got my kid a windows 10 computer for school.


I'm set up as the Windows Admin. My kid has a Microsoft Kid account, needs my PIN to install apps, so far everything works like it does at the office.


I set up Microsoft Family safety, parent & child accounts, etc.

Everything worked great until I blocked inappropriate websites. Chrome stopped working, requires parent permission for more time.


I get a notification on my PC to allow her more time, I click yes, 1 hour.


Chrome still won't open and my kid sends me another request for 1 hour.


I click yes. allow one hour. It still won't open.


I remove Chrome from the always blocked.

I try to add Chrome to "Always allowed" apps. But the Microsoft Family website won't allow me to add any apps to always allowed. it simply doesn't respond.


Does anybody have an actually function windows machine with content restriction and block inappropriate websites that runs both windows edge and google chrome browsers at the same time? I have 4 PC's running windows ten, have used every menu feature available in Microsoft Family safety and cannot get it to work.


The only solution I have found to get Chrome to run on a PC is to disable "block inappropriate websites" which is kind of missing the point.


Anyone know how to make Windows 10 Kid safe and controlled when the use Chrome for School?

Microsoft Family shared content restriction

Thanks for the response, but this has nothing to do with what I'm asking. I know how to set content restriction for each of my children, but it becomes tedious for me to have to maintain 4 different content restriction "Only Allowed" list when that list
will be the same for all 4 children. Is there a way to share that list or export/import the list among the children within the family?

 

Google account login not working with Microsoft Family Safety enabled.

-Did you try a different web browser to login to Google and check?

YES, I've tried Google Chrome and everything works fine with it. Only the Microsoft browsers have the issue with Family Saftey.

-Does the Google website reflects under the block this websites in family safety?

As I stated in the original post, "There are no site restrictions in place and placing Google in the allow list has no effect."

-Have you tried to remove and add accounts in the family safety? I have uninstalled/removed and reinstalled/reactivated all accounts under Family Saftey with the same end result.

Also, the Family Safety website does not log any web activity.

 

Microsoft family safety not working--at all.

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconveniece caused to you. Let me help you.



Before we proceed, we require more information to assist you better.

• Which web browser are you using?
• Are the settings on the Family Safety options on your computer are the same with the one on
  http://familysafety.live.com?

I suggest you to login with your parental account and check if you are able to manage the family settings.



If the issue still persist, it might appears that the Child account is not configure correctly. I suggest you to remove the Family Safety and configure it again.
