Parental Controls aren't working

Hi,

The issue could be because of corrupted files. I suggest you to delete the corrupted files yourself and see if it helps

to resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

1) Make sure your children are signed out of any monitored accounts.

2) Sign in with an administrator account and find the folder that contains the corrupted files.

There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to enter the complete file path:

• 
  On the Start screen, type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press Enter.
  

• 
  If you’d rather open each folder individually, follow these steps:
  

a. Go to This PC

b. Open C:, open the
ProgramData folder, open the Microsoft folder, open the
Windows folder, and open the Parental Controls folder.

3) Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.

This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.

Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further. Thank you

Continuous Device Connect/Disonnect Sound when HP W2207 Monitor Sleeps

Hope someone can help.

HP Pavilion p7-1287c Desktop PC with HP W2207 monitor, running Windows 10. DVI cable from monitor to PC.

Here's what's happening:

• If signed out of windows the monitor sleeps without issue.
• If signed on to windows the monitor sleeps and the computer loops the device connect/disconnect sound.
• If using VGA cable no issues with monitor sleeping but computer won't sleep.
• Have disconnected all USB devices except wireless mouse/keyboard combo.
• Have tested with wired USB mouse and keyboard same issue.
• Have ensured all drivers are updated to the latest versions.
• Have tried playing with the Advanced Power Option settings for USB and no change in behavior.
• Have tried requiring a password on wakeup and still no change.
• Would like to keep the DVI cable vs going back to VGA.

Please don't suggest turning off the sound for connecting/disconnecting devices.

Thanks.
