Windows 10: Which user account on win 10 is most restrictive for kids?

I need to create a user account on windows 10 so that strong parental controls can be enforced..

Specifically I want to ensure that kids can not create / use VPN, unable to install or edit new apps/extensions and have strong screen time restrictions. I have seen some suggestions but not sure which account type would be most suitable for this purpose - child account, family account??

can someone please advise?

Making a restricted user account

There is this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...rosoft-privacy

but note when you look at the Settings options it says




For folders, 'List folder contents' can be assigned permissions- how helpful that might be for O/S folders and what adverse effects it could have if restricted for a given user I have no idea. Just a thought..




Permissions for data is the relatively easy bit.

Hi,

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10. 

 

I understand the inconvenience that you are facing on Windows 10, we will help you with this issue.



In order to assist you better, I would like to know the following queries:

• Is the issue confined to a particular user account?
• What type of account have you logged into? Is it a Microsoft account or local account?
• Have you logged in as an Administrator?
• Do you get any error message when you try to restrict your kid to use computer?
  

To turn on Family Safety, you or at least one designated parent needs an
administrator account; the kids you choose to monitor each need a standard user account.



To check whether the account you are logged in is administrator or not please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + R key.
• Type netplwiz and hit enter.
• See the account you are logged in with.

If you are not logged in as an administrator, I suggest you try logging in as administrator and check.



I would recommend you to reconfigure the Family Safety settings and check if it works.

You can refer link below to setup the account.
