Windows 10: Not sure how to use Microsoft Launcher on Android

Dear friends.

I have a son of 12.

We use two different computers: a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 10. We have separate accounts, and his account is set as being my child.

I have visited Microsoft Family Safety and gave him a specific amount of screen time and it seems to work fine on both these computers.

He also uses an android (v.5.0.2) tablet and an oldish Huawei android smartphone. I understood that I could use Microsoft Launcher on these devices to connect them with my Microsoft Family Safety plan, so I installed it on the tablet and logged in there with my son’s Microsoft account. It doesn’t seem to work as I expected, though.

I mean, I had set 0 screen time for today, but he can still make use of the tablet. No locking him out, there (unlike the MS devices.)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

:)

Microsoft Launcher for Android Problem

Hello
Maria Ami,

Your concern about your Android phone that keeps asking you for the default launcher may have been caused by the removal of its default launcher. To resolve the issue by doing the following:

• Restart your phone.
• If the issue persists after restarting your phone, it only means that the default launcher is needed for any other launchers to work properly. Re-installing the default launcher should resolve the issue.

If you can no longer install your phone's default launcher, please get in touch with your phone's manufacturer for assistance on how you can reset it to default.

Once your Android phone is back on its default settings, re-install the Microsoft Launcher and your other apps.

Note: You can easily restore your Microsoft Launcher settings if you have performed a back up. To back up your Microsoft Launcher settings, please do the following:

1. Launch the Microsoft Launcher settings. (Tap and hold your phone's home screen and tap on the
   Launcher Settings.)
2. Tap Back up & Restore.
3. Tap Back up Microsoft Launcher option.
4. Confirm that the Back up to cloud storage option is selected.
5. Tap the Back up button.
6. Check the settings that you want to back up.
7. Tap the Back up now button.

You may restore your Microsoft Launcher back up after re-installing it.

If you can no longer re-install your phone's default launcher, please get in touch with its manufacturer for assistance on how you can reset it to its factory settings.

Feel free to reply if you have other concerns.
