Windows 10: My Family Safety is applying restrictions to the organizer

Hello,

In my family group a minor aged user has restrictions applied.

Being logged into Windows using an administrator / organizer account, the child's account logged into Edge as a new profile.

From this moment the following occurs:

- The wallpaper of the minor's desktop was applied to the administrator [solved ;]

- Navigation restrictions, time of use, etc.are since then applied to the administrator's account mentioning the minor's name when asking for permissions!

- When the time is up, the admin has to ask for time to himself, windows goes crazy showing windows with messages of obscure meaning and more time can only be granted from another device.

The minor's profile has already been removed from the Edge browser, with no result in terms of restrictions.

Any suggestions to fix this absurdity?

Family Safety is a very necessary program that, in my opinion, sometimes seems out of control when it comes to managing accounts, continually asking for identifications when opening new tabs, with links going nowhere or to the same window you were already in. , etc. etc. etc.

Greetings and thanks,


José.

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’

Family Safety doesn't work on power saver

I tried everything you suggested, but nothing worked. I think the problem is that power saver restricts running Family Safety and other apps from running in the background. I can manually enable an app in the Settings, but there's no such app like Family
Safety in the list.
