Windows 10: Visibility of Time Limit Family to User

Hi everyone, can you help?


I have just set up time limits for my child but the biggest issue is that there does not seem to be a counter for them to keep track of their daily usage?


Is there a solution that I am unaware of? I have searched a plenty and found nothing.


Thank you

:)

microsoft family time limit, without any family accounts?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Basically removing the account from the family group, the account will still exist, but it won't have the benefits or restrictions it had within the family group.



In this scenario I suggest you to check if the child account still exists under family group. If yes, you can go ahead and remove the members from the family group. Refer the article
Remove members from your family group
for the steps. Please make sure that you are followed and kindly back to us with the results.



From more information, I would suggest you to check the article from

and refer the section Common issues with time limits.



Meanwhile I would like to inform you that it’s required have an administrator privileges on the computer to make any changes with the user account. I suggest you to try signing in with the administrator password and make the necessary changes.

Windows 10 Family Safety time limits not working

I had this exact problem and these are the steps I took to get the issue resolved:

• Navigate to family safety settings and remove the child from the family having issues.
• Login to the childs account and launch Settings (windows key + i)
• Click the Accounts icon and select Sign in with local account instead
• Follow the steps to change to a local account. When completed, Login back to your account (admin account)
• Go back to the family safety settings and add your child back to the family group.
• Access your childs email address to accept the family invitation
• Verify the child now shows properly in the family settings and that the screen times are still correct.
• Login to the childs account and launch Settings (windows key + i)
• Click the Accounts icon and select Sign in with microsoft account instead
• Your family settings should now take affect.

I know this is pretty tedious, but like I said, it worked for me. If you are still having trouble, I suggest contacting support and they can help walk you through the steps to get it resolved.
