Windows 10: Microsoft Family Safety web restrictions persist after I leave family.

Web restrictions were set up for my Microsoft account, which are very ineffective by the way, as they restrict completely random sites, but even after i left the family, switched to a local account, ended ALL Microsoft family safety processes, it still locks me out of certain sites.

Family Safety Windows 10 Adult filtering restricts to allowed site list only

Hi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community, we’re here to help you with this issue.

Please answer the below questions to assist you better,

Are you managing the Family safety settings through the Family safety website or through the control panel?

If you are using the website, what level of web filtering restrictions did you apply?

If the web filtering restriction level is set to ‘Warn on adult’, it will allow all websites but only shows a warning when an adult website is visited. I would suggest you to set the web filtering level to either ‘Online communication’
or ‘General interest’ or ‘Designed for Children’ filters which will block all adult website. Refer to these steps:

a) Log into the Family safety website (https://familysafety.microsoft.com/ ).

b) Click on the child account and click on ‘Web filtering’ in the left pane.

c) Click on “restriction level’ and choose the appropriate filter.

If you are managing Family safety through control panel, then follow these steps:

a) Press Windows key + F, set the search filter to settings.

b) Type ‘Family safety’ and click on the Family safety tile.

c) Click on the child account and then click on the ‘Set web filtering’.

d) Choose the appropriate filter.

I would also suggest you to follow the steps given under the section
Set limits on the websites your child can visit of the link given below.
