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.
:) You are right... In this case you can use the classical programs k9, Time Boss, Net Nanny or others...
Lol thanks turned this off cause I have like 1hr a day
me too :(
so, any changes for 2020, it doesn't look the same when signing in and out.
Finally I can get rid of dumb timers
Great! Thank you
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!
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?
Unfortunately, we don't know why Windows 10 doesn't let you add parental controls to a local account. However, you could try creating a new family account in order to use the parental controls. Hope this helps!
Love it
hi, thanks for the video I found it very useful. i used to manage accounts under "manage" by right-click "computer", where's that option? thanks
Sorry, but we're not sure about that feature. Perhaps it was taken away with the latest version, or the latest update of that version. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful to you!
Hey how do I fix the parents sign-in?
Perhaps our text-based lesson can help: www.gcflearnfree.org/windows10/managing-user-accounts-and-parental-controls/1/.
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?
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?
Perhaps our text-based lessons here www.gcflearnfree.org/windows10/managing-user-accounts-and-parental-controls/1/ and here www.gcflearnfree.org/windows10/security-and-maintenance/1/ can help you. We hope they do!
If the child account is the administrator/owner, how to setup the parent control?
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")
+ziad emad not that we're aware of. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful to you!
+GCFLearnFree.org haha np bro
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...
+Ramiel this feature is mostly designed for people who are sharing a computer, like a family. Hopefully that helps you!
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
+peppazfletcher we would suggest starting over or restarting your computer and then trying again. As a small organization of the nonprofit Goodwill Community Foundation, we are unable to provide troubleshooting assistance. Hopefully our suggestions will help you, though!
thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much
There is no "Family and other users" options in my account settings.
We're not sure why you're not seeing it; however, other than suggesting a restart, we don't have the resources to be able to troubleshoot technical issues. You'd need to contact Microsoft directly to get your issue resolved. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful to you!
thanks

We're not sure we understand the question. Can you be more specific?
Does anyone no how to get rid of parental control
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?
While we don't have any information on it, we did find this Google forum that covers it: goo.gl/YmDc4y
How many additional users can you have on a computer
We don't believe there's a limit, but if it is it's likely a high number. We hope this helps!
family account option is missing..no other account too.??
While we're not sure why this is happening to you, perhaps you can follow our text-based instructions on setting up user accounts and controls in Windows 10: www.gcflearnfree.org/windows10/managing-user-accounts-and-parental-controls/1/. We hope it helps!

dear im really messed up with accounts in win10 hop u reply..
i have 2acc on win10 both r administrator with microsoft acc and pin protected..
problem: user files like documents and downloads all files r accessible from both acc how dose it possible and how to fully password protect and accounts???
This is the normal behavior for admin accounts, as they are designed to be able to access everything. If you want to restrict someone’s privileges, that person should probably have a standard account. However, it may be possible to give users some extra privileges without having full admin privileges. You may find more help in this article: techgenix.com/ways-grant-elevated-privileges-windows/
this is bad... then what is the point of view of having password?
i need both account admin bcoz my bro use my laptop to and install software's n all..
i wished when we have password protected accounts it may protect our user files too...
bt that sad.. anyways thANKX for replying....
Perhaps contacting Microsoft directly or looking up a forum on the subject can help you.
yes thankx... ur reply did help me...

Can a admin still have screen time?
Yep!
How can I keep windows 10 and change to controls to window 7 status ?
We're not sure. Can you be more specific about what you wanted to do?
I was using Windows 7, when Microsoft changed me to windows 10,I did not like the way the setting were on W 10 , so my grandson didsomething and changed control back to windows 7, but kept the windows 10 program. I had wind 10 with wind 7 setting.I have lost the wind 7 controls and am back to wind 10 with wind 10 setting/controls/commands. I cannot use the wind 10 controls.i.e. I liked the wind 7 command ALL PROGRAMS. It is missing in wind 10.Thank you for your reply.

how do you unblock your account if someone blocked it and you dont no the admins password
I've added a school account but I don't know how to log into it
+James D I'm not sure we can help. We offer free tutorials and videos rather than troubleshooting. You may need to contact an IT specialist to recover this information. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful to you!
GCFLearnFree.org that's fine
i want to prevent someone making a account on my computer, I've got a little brother that always downloading stuff to my computer, he ruined my last one I wont let it happen again. I've changed the password in like 90% sure he don't know it. when I got home today a user was added with his account. Is there a way to prevent this?
The best way to prevent this is to make sure he doesn’t have administrative privileges. By default, the main account on the computer is an admin account, which can be used to create new accounts. If your brother’s account is an admin account (or if he has the login info for one of the admin accounts), he will be able to create new accounts. We recommend looking at the account settings and seeing which accounts are Standard and which ones are Admin, and making adjustments to the privileges as needed. Hope this helps!
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...
How come mine doesn't have "Family & other users"?
We're not sure, and unfortunately without being in front of your computer it's difficult to tell why. You may want to Google the issue further to see whether there's a forum on it.
GCFLearnFree.org Ok thank you.
What if your administer and it has blocked sites for you
You'll need to take that up with your IT administrator.
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....
I think, that build-in parent control in Win 10 is far from perfection,
so I’d recommend you to buy a separate programm with many features,
for example K9 or Time Boss Pro.
This programs have remote access to kids PC, forced breaks, grants,
limitation internet sites by time and others...
kids don't know the password (admin account)
The Family & other users has disappeared PLEASE HELP ME
While we are unable to provide troubleshooting support, we do have a text-based version of our Windows 10 tutorial, which you can access here: www.gcflearnfree.org/windows10. I hope it helps you!
