Windows 10: Parental Approval Required?????

Hi All


help needed.

I have set up child accounts for the kids as we are going on holiday and wont have internet access.

I put £25 on the eldests account so that she can download some films and tv shows to download onto her tablet.


Every time she wants to buy something it says You need Parental Approval for this.

I removed the restrictions (temporarily) and it STILL asks for parental approval.


If I click the 'allow' option on my laptop when I get the message it takes me directly to MY account where I have to purchase the content.


AM I doing something wrong or cant kids purchase kids rated video content from the store?


Thanks

:)

 

Parental approval for apps

Recently, I have been denied app downloads because I have to get parental approval. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and we never had children so how to I negate the family setting? On the Microsoft account page they list my birthdate as September 9th,
2013.

 

Parent Microsoft Account requires USA address

My daughter has a new Microsoft based PC for Christmas. In trying to set it up her CHILD Microsoft Account requires parental approval, and then proceeds to need a PARENT Microsoft account approval, but it insists on supplying a USA billing address.

What settings do I need to change to be able to verify I am an adult without a USA address?

 

There is no parental control for approving incoming emails for kids account?

Original Title: kids microsoft email accounts

Kids Accounts (WINDOWS 10) - There are no parental control for approving incoming emails for kids account. There are no pre-authorized setup option for kids email contacts. I thought perhaps only authorized individuals on the child's email list for sending
& receiving emailing messages both incoming and going would be under parental controls as a safety option. But, I ran a test and it seems anyone with access to the kid's email address can send that child an email. This is not safe at all. Emails can contain
inappropriate attachments from other kids as well. I thought perhaps parents had control and can setup an approved email contacts list and contents are preapprove by parents before it is visible to the child and vice versa for outgoing email as well. Devices
are controlled, and monitored in reports, however, who is controlling the authorization of contacts & contents to communicate on that device with that child??? as parents have no control options? I like the device monitoring with control offered. Perhaps,
I may have overlook something in the email safety for kids or is this really a standard email for all? We need control options over contacts for under a child's security and protection as well. Also, the Local account (without email option) does not ask
for an age. - I would suppose the entry might be regarded as an adult?
