Windows 10: Screen time restrictions off, but apps are still being blocked.

Firefox and Chrome are still being blocked, even though all screen time restrictions are off. No other apps that I've seen are doing this, and it's been happening since yesterday. I've restarted the computer several times since then, but still no luck. If it helps, the Xbox was doing this about a week ago, restricting mature games.

Family Safety App Blocking Not Working

Hi Mike,

Let's make sure that the apps you mentioned are properly blocked to ensure that your kids will not be able to access it. To do that , follow the steps below:

• Log in to your Family Safety account.
• Click App, games & media.
• Toggle on the Block inappropriate apps and games option.
• Under Limit apps, games, and media from Store, click the drop-down list to adjust the restriction.
• In the Blocked apps & games list, check if Google Chrome is included.

Let us know if your child is still able to do some search even though it's already blocked so we can further assist you.

Restrict app access to UWP apps in Windows 10

Hi ExtGame,

You can easily block apps by setting up restrictions through the child's Microsoft account.

To do this, go to https://account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your Microsoft account. Then:

• Find your child's name and select Content restrictions.
  
• Scroll down to Apps, games & media and switch Block inappropriate apps, games & media from
  Off to On.
  
• To always block a specific app or game, add it to the Always blocked list by blocking it where it appears on the
  Activity page.

Note: If your child downloaded something before you set these limits, you can block it where it appears on the Activity page. They’ll need your permission to use it again, and you can respond to their requests from your email
or on https://account.microsoft.com/family.


You may block Skype in there. For more information about setting restrictions for a child on Windows 10, you may visit
this page.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
