@Missing0o0 10 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the vid. I remember a Family Safety icon appearing in the taskbar tray where the clock is in Windows 10. Is this still the case in Windows 11, an indicator on the child account computer itself that it's running?

@FamilyTech 10 месяцев назад

You might be thinking about the Windows Defender Icon, which is more of an antivirus program, it is not associated with Microsoft Family Safety.

@Missing0o0 10 месяцев назад

@@FamilyTech Thank you for replying. Oh no, it was definitely Microsoft Safety, but maybe it only appeared when a notification for the limits would pop up. 🤔 Anyway, just a minor curiosity, I have it setup on a Windows 11 that was upgraded from 10. I'll just confirm once it's time to lock down. Thanks again. 😄

Hi, I'm on this video not to turn on parental controls, but to disable them. My Dad set them up when I was 11 and for some reason after getting my new laptop a full decade later the parental controls automatically came back, still restricting me to content for 11 yr olds. It was funny at first but now its just frustrating lol I'm literally 21

@joshuahall3622 5 месяцев назад

Reset the laptop and initiate it with a different Microsoft account. His control is over your Microsoft account. Or just get him to give up control.

@swagmuffin9000 4 месяца назад

Wait... 10 years and still using the same OS? 10 years ago was windows 8 i think. Can't you flash a newer version like 10 or 11 onto the hard drive? It could be a last resort if you can't figure it out. Just backup your stuff first.

Hi - I had a question: We have a laptop for our 10 year old to use for very limited purposes. I don't want to set up a separate Microsoft acct for him. Can I just select an existing option in the Edge settings to block out pornographic websites?

Often there are parental controls you can set through the mobile provider like Verizon Family Safety

@RakeshYadav-zc4xw Год назад

@@FamilyTech thanks for your quick response... I m from India and here ISPs or TSPs don't bother about user's privacy so its only us who have to look for options. Mostly it's a challenge to stay safe on Android devices. I've enough control in terms of parental controls on Computers running both Linux or Windows as they connect through Wifi Routers & they are immensely configurable, but this Android is a headache & kids are crazy for mobile devices.

@TheBlackAmish 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate your work. It is helpful to be updated with all the necessary information and tools to keep our children safe. I followed your advice from another video when choosing an Android Phone for my kid. Now, my problem with Microsoft Family Safety. It works when I test run it myself but for some reason the child is able to circumvent it and use the PC for a long duration. Also your video timeline 4:21 min had a “Lock Devices” option which is unavailable to me. How do I get the option to lock the PC remotely? Sorry this is long. I appreciate your work and the help you are providing to us concerned parents.

@tomgarrett3480 7 месяцев назад

If Microsoft Family Safety is to "hard" for you or your child, so you can use other parental controls apps. you are free to chose, depending on the age of a child or on the seriousness of control, eg K9 or Time Boss. Additionally you get forced breaks, limitation websites by time and others.

@malinijinto 10 месяцев назад

Hi your video was very useful. I got a new PC for my son and my nephew had set up a skype account instead of a microsoft account to login into the system. Previously my son had a laptop which had a microsft account and I put a parental control on the laptop. But when I wanted to acess the microsoft account in his new PC to put a parental control it is asking me to link from hus sprevious device. I tried linking but it didn't work and my son is scot free using his PC for many hours while I am at work. Any solution to this would be such a big relief. Please help.

@andreasscholle8249 10 месяцев назад

If your child has admin rights on PC, or if he has local account in Windows 11 - internal parental control does not help you. In this case you can use the classical programs k9, Time Boss, Net Nanny or others...

MS Edge is NOT built on Google Chrome. This is wrong. Edge is based on the open source "Chromium" project, which Chrome also shares as a common ancestor, but Google Chrome is a different browser with several additional features, performance and security improvements.

I wonder if the following is possible: 1 parent windows PC with one local admin account (of cause I have Microsoft account but is still logged in as a local old fashioned user account). My two kids have one android tablet respectively one Windows computer and one android tablet. He is logged in with local user account and I have the admin account password. This is his computer. My questions: do we as parents has to be logged in with Microsoft accounts on our parents PC or is it enough that the kids use theirs Microsoft accounts on their Windows devices? Maybe non have to be logged in with MS account and only have one attached Microsoft family account? Please answer ASAP. Thanks for a great video! 😊

@snuffe_himself123 10 месяцев назад

Now I have set it all up I think, but I have a couple of questions. On som places Microsoft says that even smartphones is included but in the settings it only says windows and xbox decides in the time limit section. Which is it? This product is of total unuse for us if the time limit can't be divided on ALL devices (windows and android).... I'm getting very confused since I can see all devices on the first smaller screen time view but when I enter it there is only his windows computer. Have I missed anything? 🤔😒😒 Please answer.

@20_dionysus_10 22 дня назад

@@kovalenkoihor4325 That doesn't change what it's doing. What this does is take away any respect the child had for their parent and take away any chance of seeing them as an equal. This will either create a horrible relationship where the child only pretends to be a different person around their parent and sucks up to them and acts like they control them, or it just makes the child despise them. a much better way to encourage a child to spend less time on their devices is to play with them one on one more, go outside together, encourage them to go hang out with friends etc. setting screen time does nothing but make the child feel less then human when compared to their parent. And by the way 2 hours is not enough to do anything and I guarantee that your child will grow up with a hatred towards you unless you remove their limits.

@@20_dionysus_10 2hrs of gaming/movies etc. Not blocking the whole pc, sure. Just hear me. Respect is not what parents do, it's what you do. They can be the best parents in one kid eyes but the worst in some other eyes. And parents with children are not equal. Parents are responsible for their kid, kid is not responsible for parent. Huge difference. Negotiate the rules and obey the negotiations.
