Windows 10 Family Safety Website Blocking

Hello,

I have the same question as
Dkatz1.

I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on the 29/07/2015.

Having spent several hours trying to restrict access to websites, games and apps for a newly created child's account, my observation is that the current version of Windows 10 only allows a parent to specify Allowed and Blocked websites. However, it is not
possible to set it up so that only websites specified in the Allowed list are accessible.

Likewise the available children setting for apps and games is rather odd. The child setting for my 5 year old would allow her to "download and purchase apps and games" that are deemed appropriate for her age. This is something I definitely would not like
my child to be able to do.

Am I missing something here?

Regards

Sam
