Is the UEFI password asked on some machines the same as the MS password use to log in as admin?


Once the secure boot is disabled and the boot order set, you can boot from a stick. Does it have to be formatted as UEFI for this to work?

Windows 10 Family Safety

I assume the problem is from corrupt family settings files. It does not seem that the old win7/8 files are transferred or compatible with win10.

 

Where do I allow specific programs for Windows 10 Family Safety?

Family safety has changed a lot and is not as useful as before. I do not see any way to allow or block applications. Online usage and computer is almost unrestricted. Monitoring time usage is also difficult.

"For apps & games, we've simplified how restrictions are set. You can choose an age setting for them, and based on that, they'll be able to only download apps and games that have been rated appropriate for their age. "

Apps are unrestricted because most have no age limit.

 

No, they are completely separate.

Once Secure Boot is disabled, you can boot to any bootable type of media, whether that be a USB, DVD, or CD. It needs to be a bootable device, not specified specifically as UEFI.

 

I understand now and thank you very much for your help.

BTW, once the secure boot is disabled, does it enable, once rebooted, or is this something you do?

 

You will have to enable Secure Boot. Only if the BIOS settings were cleared would it reset on its own.
