    MS Family Safety can't see app details or set limits due to no URL encoding...


    Since the recent redesign of https://family.microsoft.com/ I've been unable to see the daily usage or modify app limits for the game Among Us via website my preferred way.Today I looked into it and turns out the game's app id is win32:among+us.exe_ and its details page URL will look like:.../apps/page?appId=win32:among+us.exe_ which redirects me back to the app list.Just by swapping the plus sign with its URL encoding the details page loads fine:.../apps/page?appId=win32:among%2Bus.exe_

    :)
