  1. Windows User Account is Blocking a Website


    I am unable to access a very specific web site, using my primary Windows User Account. This is a very recent issue it appeared within the last two weeks. I have had no similar problems in the past with this website or any other website. I have ascertained that it is specific to one specific Windows User Account my primary Windows login. I can access the website using a different Windows User Account on the same laptop. I can access the website from a different Windows laptop. I have turned VPN off Nord; and the Windows firewall off. I have checked all browser sett

    Hello Jenn,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community.

    I would like to inform you that, you can set up web browsing limits so they can only visit a small number of sites that you specifically allowed.

    • Select Web browsing, and switch Block inappropriate websites from
      Off to On. Now, adult content is blocked and
      SafeSearch is on when your child uses the most common search engines.
    • If you want your child to only see websites you've explicitly allowed, check the box next to
      Only see websites on the allowed list.
    To allow or block specific websites

    • Sign in to

    Windows User Account is Blocking a Website

    Blocking websites under child user accounts

    I have set up child accounts for my kids on my Windows 10 machine. There's only a short list of websites I'd like them to be able to visit, and I've added those sites to the "Always allow these" list. Is there a way to block all other sites except the
    ones I've listed? If not, what's the point of having an allowed list?

    Also, is there a way to copy the settings from one child to another? Or do I have to go through the entire process for each child account?
