    How can one avoid a child account from accessing the Microsoft store online and downloading vpn/browser apps directly on the computer?


    It seems that even if I block the Microsoft store via the desktop, these apps can still be downloaded by going on microsoft.com; furthermore, even if I allow only a few website to be accessed, Microsoft.com seems to be allowed no matter what. I also tried to stop access to the url of the microsoft store via the hosts file but, while i can stop access to websites such as ebay.com, microsoft.com cannot be blocked.

    :)

  3. Child account- store and apps not opening

    So, I create child accounts for my two kids so that they would use their own accounts to use our family pc and so that i could monitor their activity. The problem is that when i enter with one of the child's account the store app is not opening and many
    of the "metro" apps are not opening as well. All other accounts, including the other child's are working just fine. I have tried several suggestions but nothing seems to work, including the troubleshooter fix issued from microsoft. Is there a workaround?

    Check you "Family" settings. Somehow I had my account listed as a child, and it wouldn't let me download apps with an age requirement.
