    Reinstall Family Features


    My 16 year old son successfully figured out how to delete or uninstall something from his computer which renders family features useless. He is still a part of our Microsoft Family, but I can no longer track or limit his computer time. This has been a major challenge with school being virtual. I have struggled with limiting the YouTube, games, browsing, etc. that was able to limit with MS Family. Is there a way for me to reinstall the file that he deleted. I have no idea what the file was, but it is apparently essential for family features to work on a PC. He finally fessed up to deleting "a file". He was not an administrator on his PC, but somehow logged on as me to give himself administrative rights to be able to do this. I have since revoked his administrator rights, created a very strong password for myself and remove the PIN login as an option for my account on his PC I think the latter is how he got in there.


    Thanks to anyone that can assist me.

    :)

    Family Features Blocking Chrome on Adult Account

    Hello,

    Best that we could suggest here as an easy fix is to have the Family feature administrator remove your account from the list. Feel free to check out
    this link from our support website for steps on how to do so.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
