Aye! Thank you. I've been planning to put my pc in my room, but my parents were worried that I would go to innaprotiate websites and or stay up too late. I could finally have what I wanted! Thank you.

Thanks for the video! Can't believe you have to create a microsoft account for your kids just to use parental controls. Sooo annoying! Local accounts are so much better.

Actually, Family Safety was great under Win 8.1, but Windows 10 has taken away much of the functionality.
The other idea is to use a special parental control program. There are loads of them in the net, so you are free to chose, depending
on the age of a child or on the seriousness of control, eg KidsWatch or Time Boss Pro...
Additionally you get remote access to kids PC from your mobile, forced breaks, limitation internet sites by time and others

Good post, thanks!
But if your child has local account in Windows 10 - internal parental control does not work. Why? (on W7 all was Ok)
Should I use others parental controls, eg Time Boss, Net Nanny or others?

I am planning to restrict my brother's screen time on his own laptop. Would I need to create a separate Windows administrator account to be able to restrict the screen time or can I do all of this through his own account? any tips/guidance would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks!

[PickleReef]

I add another user, he can not install programs without Administrator permission, but he still has access on Control Panel and he has an ability to unintall programs. Do u know how to restrict it?

[Ramiromasters]

It seems that the only purpose of creating user accounts its so YOU can access your computer if your internet is not working.
All users have full control of all files and programs and admin rights.
Windows 10 its an open window to your private life...

[ChronoSphinx]

i have a question, can you specify a partition of you hard drive to a specific user ? ("like all their work and programmes and not show up to the admin account")

[boudewns]

It gets even worse. Your kid can go the account settings, change its account back to a local account and voila, all restrictions are gone....

[peppazfletcher]

when i click "Add a Family Member" its saying "Something went wrong, Try again, or select Cancel to set up your device later" ..Please HELP

[jeremiahl]

Does anyone no how to get rid of parental control

[lilin]

If the child account is the administrator/owner, how to setup the parent control?

[mss]

There is no "Family and other users" options in my account settings.

[Flockingtheherd]

I have a question. So I’ve created a seperate login for a family member who would like to use my computer as well. The problem is, after creating this separate non admin account and login. The account is still able to access all of my documents, files, and apps. How do I create a separate login that won’t allow any documents to be seen across them?

[e-lution]

How many additional users can you have on a computer

[thecreatorr]

Do you know why I can’t access Google? It says that I need permission from an adult, I’ve never had this happen, is there a way I can fix it?

[vikasgavit]
