    Windows screen time app exceptions


    Couple of things:


    First, it looks like screen time on PC counts idle time towards time limits. Is there a way to fix this? Screen time limits aren't going to be useful if it counts all screen on time...


    Second, I'd like to set a total screen time on PC, but add specific app exception so they don't count towards screen time. Basically, my kids use their computers for schooling, which I want them to have unlimited time on. But they also have games on their computers which I'd like to limit their total time on. I've seen that I can set individual app limits, which I could use to remedy this. But then those limits would stack. Meaning once they use up time on one game, they can switch to a different game. I'd like to group all the games together to count towards a total screen time. Any way to do this?

    :)

    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)

    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
