Windows 10: windows locked out due to time expiration but audio is still running on background

Hi,


As stated in the subject title, even after getting locked out due to time expiration, my kid can still listen to their youtube, vimeo, podcasts, or whatever URL that contains audio/video that is active in the browser.


Is there registry or workaround or an actual setting that can prevent this from happening?


Yes, I have the latest released Windows 10 home version and most updated audio driver. So, those two are not the issue.


Thanks!
