Family Safety time limits must be checked through machines

I use RTM of Windows 8 on a desktop computer and a laptop. I have set up Family Safety on behalf of my son on both machines. It has a delay of 45 minutes per day. He has discovered that he can use 45 minutes on the desktop, then move it to the laptop and use another 45 minutes. I think it is a bug. I believe that the correct behavior is to the allocation of time to follow on all the computers to which it has access. Please correct.

How would that be able to follow through all the machines?  Do you give your son a Microsoft Account access?

There is no way to monitor a local account anywhere to separate machines.  You will need to monitor the activity and do not rely on Windows to do it for you to break your limit of 45 minutes.  It is not a bug when using local accounts.
A Microsoft Account might be able to be the subject of a follow-up, but again, it is not the use of Microsoft to track these things.  Especially on multiple computers.  They've already given you control over everything else, you should be able to know which machine it uses and how much time is left.  Split time between the 2 machines.  20 minutes on the desktop and 25 on the laptop.  Problem solved without blaming Microsoft for tracking everything that your son didn't.

  • Family Safety time limits is no longer log off user

    Hello

    Now I used a while to FSS deadlines for on the same laptop. Recently (I guess that for an update), delays are no longer disconnect the user. You are unable to log on to the account during blocked times, however, once logged on you without getting more time per minute 15 "you will be logged out' warning and my son can continue to use the computer.

    Until I get the stock answers: -.

    • It has a standard account and I have an administrator account on the laptop.
    • I uninstalled the filter and reinstalled the latest version
    • I refreshed the filter and box "your settings have been updated" appear
    • Time box is checked on the Web site
    • It is a Windows 7 PC with all the patches/updates applied and carefully scanned for virus/malware

    Family safety is blocking sites and reports very well for this account, it's just time disconnect feature that does not work. I followed all the steps of other responses.

    Any other suggestions?

  • Family Safety time limit - less restrictive, less flexibility

    Is it possible to bring back the time grid selection in parental controls?  With the previous method, I could let my children stay connected to do homework or play games (with me) until 1 or 02:00.  but with the new configuration from the drop-down list, to allow access from midnight to 01:00 and still allow normal hours (i.e. 07:00 - 21:00), access must be granted from midnight until 21:00.

  • Windows 7 Family Safety - time not to close the session user.

    Hi guys,.

    I've set up my son an 'ordinary' on his laptop computer account, and I have an account "admin".  I've implemented time limits, which are carried out in collaboration with Windows Live.

    When the time comes, my son is NOT disconnected from its system.  If it disconnects, it cannot connect to (which is good), but if he uses the laptop at the end of the "admitted" time, he is permitted to continue.

    I think he should get a 15 minute warning beforehand that he will be disconnected.

    Hi fsscayc,

    Regarding your password problem, I will convey this to our Windows Live team as a feature request for a future version of the program. The team of the said values and recognizes the suggestions and feedback from users of the Windows Live products. You can also submit this page http://feedback.live.com/ and select "Windows Live Family Safety".

    When you go to fss.live.com and it redirects you to the website "Live Essentials", this indicates that the account has not yet been defined in the client Windows Live Family Safety. You must connect to the customer first before you can access fss.live.com.

    On the prompt "only an adult can connect as a Parent Family Safety. Ask an adult to log in.' it is possible that you tried to open a session with a Windows Live account does not have the required age of the customer sign of family security.

  • "Family Safety > settings user > user activities > time PC used" shows always "1 minute".

    I have Windows 8, clean install, not an upgrade to Windows 7.

    I have set up three accounts of child when I got the laptop.

    As a first step, the "time limits" worked and accounts would be to warn children when they had spent some time.

    Now, two of the three children never warns.  In addition, when I check their accounts, it shows always only '1 minute' for any day that they were connected.

    I am using local accounts for each of them, not the "Family Safety site", since none of my kids have accounts of Microsoft.

    Y at - it a patch to do this, please?

  • Family safety report says that a blocked Web site has been visited several times.

    OT: The family safety report.

    On my report it says that a blocked site has been visited 120 times. How is this possible when it is blocked?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    Have you checked by accessing the site blocked in the child's account to see if it's blocked or not?

    Safe family activity reports will include sites that are visited but blocked. Also, sites that was redirected from other sites, or use a feature of this site (such as the Facebook Like function and share) will add also upward to the activity report.

    I suggest you to check by accessing the Web site of the child's account. Also, make sure that the child's account does not use proxy connections.

    You can also update the family safety filter and check the results.

  • I want to disable the ability to go back and save your work before the expiration of time on the family safety settings

    My daughter uses the option to go back and save your work before closing down as a way open to passing the family safety settings. When she is about to be disconnected because of the time limit, she knows that three programs open with live data on them (like playing content in YouTube, chatting and playing an internet game all at the same time) he will come to the top and he the opportunity to go back and close its data. It completely negates the purpose of the limits of time. Because it doesn't then go back to the top and stop her. It falls just the problem completely. I don't know that this is just a gap in the family of security software. But thought I would ask to see if this option can be disabled, or if there is a way around it.

    If you find the Parental control in Windows help, he will guide you to articles online for the safety of these two parental controls & family.  There may be a solution in the event of children in one of these roads.

  • Child can disable Windows Live Family Safety on notebook child through Control Panel

    Hello
    My 14-year-old bought her own laptop.  I installed Windows life family safety (WLFS).

    He informed me that he can turn it off via the control panel > user accounts and Family Safety > Parental control > provider Elite > [click on "None" or "WLFS"].

    Suggested family security forums I set up an adult user and make me an administrator and my son a Standard user.  I tried, but his computer become unusable because it was not able to perform the same tasks such as access to the files he needed for the programming, install/uninstall a software, or perform maintenance on the system.

    So, I removed the adult user and made my son admin. Now I have to go on trust.

    Q: what other solution is there?  Is there another software that I can install it on his computer which will follow his activity but does not appear as a 'provider' in the Parental Control Panel?

    It will not uninstall it, because then his computer should be removed.  I want to just keep him off for 2 minutes to check an adult site and then turn it on again - which is what he can do with the Windows parental control.

    Why don't block you websites of the wireless router... theres some kind of startup Web page configured for the netgear an others as well...

    Additional details
    I put the time restrictions on an account called family in my PC. However, it did not work! My son seems to be able to get any time.
    Is it because the time limit only works for Windows 7? and not vista?
    Why? MSoft can not make it work for Vista?

    Hello

    Deadlines should work on Windows Vista when you use parental controls. It is possible that you experience this problem because you are using an older version of the parental control, the installation program does not correctly, or settings are not updated to the level of the parental control client after making changes on the Family Safety website. The latest version of the family of security for Windows Vista is build 15.4.3555.0308.

    Apparently, the latest version of the parental control now uses the standard user accounts (Windows logon) as a child in the safety of the family. If you need to know about adding a user to the Windows login with standard privileges, please see this link.

    If you have already created a standard user and you want to manage under parental control, then follow these steps:

    1. run the parental control on a Windows account with administrator privileges. If this is your first time running the parental control, you need to sign in using your Microsoft Account.

    2. after login, select the standard Windows account that you want to monitor as a child by checking the box to the right of the name of the account, and then click Next after.

    3 on the right, you will see members parental control with a list of drop down option. Click the menu drop-down, and then select Add standard account name.

    4. click on record. Wait until the installation is done.

    5. Once done, you should see the name of the account under Windows monitored accounts.

    Establishment of the limits of time using the parental control

    After you add the account of the child (standard user) for the safety of your family, you can then set up time restrictions limit as follows:

    1. connect the customer to parental control using the Parent account.

    2. click on settings of the child of the child you want to impose time limits.

    3. Select the Windows account you want to associate with your parent account.   Put a tick and clicking next takes you to the next screen.

    4. after combining, you must set up familysafety.microsoft.com time limits (formerly fss.live.com)

    5. note: for time limits work, the child Windows account must be a Standard user and NOT an administrator account.

    6. in the left pane, click the name of the computer or the child account to configure by clicking on the settings below.

    7. click on deadlines.

    8 Note: Make sure that the check box Turn On is selected and block on the desired boxes restriction for the account of that of Windows.  Save to finish.

    9. Once done do changes on the Family Safety website, don't forget to update the client settings by clicking on the 2 arrows at the top right of the window to the client (get the latest settings on the site).

    In case you need help, feel free to post a reply.

  • Family safety account - stuck managed

    In 2003-2004 my Microsoft account was handled through a first version of family safety product.  Some time later, the account was promoted to an adult account and is no longer managed by family safety products.  However, it seems to be a persistant problem with my account.  For example, I can't create a group on SkyDrive and get the error message "Windows Live Groups does not support family safety Managed Accounts.".  I am also unable to use options in SkyDrive to share files "share link".  I am also unable to see the options 'Invisible' or 'Available' when I click on my name at the top right of outlook.com.  Also, I don't see the little mail icon that appears directly on the left of the setting icon.

    Here's what I linked to do to solve the problem:

    (1) I have tried other browsers and clear all caches

    (2) that I created a new account to confirm, it was isolated to my account, it is.

    (3) I installed the family safety and has visited the family safety Web site - I see no evidence that my account is managed through family safety.

    I really don't want to switch to a different account of Microsoft because it is related to my xbox live gold account family (where I am the main account) and several other Microsoft services.

    Anyway is not valid restrictions on my account?

    I uninstalled it also.

    Any help greatly apppreciated.

    Hi Wayne,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

    Let me try and help you with this problem.

    The "Access denied" error '80070005' error Code indicates that you do not have the permissions to change the parental control settings.

    1. Are you logged on to the computer as administrator?
    2. Are you signed in to the Family Safety with ID Parent website?

    First, check the date and time is set correctly.
    Right click on the clock in the system tray. Select adjust Date and time.

    Check and correct the month, day, year, hour, minutes and time zone.

    Reboot if you have changed all the foregoing.

    I would also refer to suggestions provided by "Christian_Co" and check if it helps:

  • Family safety does not wab browsing activity report

    Hello

    I set up parental controls for a child almost a year back

    and it has worked perfectly until about a month.

    Now he sends to empty activity reports

    claiming that it was not any web browsing activity.

    But I know for a fact that this activity takes place.

    Is anyone know how fix/Debug this?

    I already checked that:

    -Name of the PC comes to /familysafety.microsoft.com

    -On the website: date/time of last activity reported for this PC

    is correct and up to date

    -On the website: 'Activity tracking' is on 'ON' for the child

    -On the PC: WPCMon is NOT running (in Task Manager)

    If I log in as a child, or like me

    -On the PC: Family Safety icon appears in the taskbar.

    When I connect as a child popup icon says:

    Hello

    1. which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

    2. what type of internet connection do you use? Is it wireless or wired?

    This problem normally occurs when the parental control settings are not configured correctly or recording. You may need to configure the settings to see if it helps.

    You can check this by blocking a Web site and try to access it from the browser. Also, make sure that the child's account does not use proxy connections.

    You can also update the family safety filter and check the results.

    How to update the family safety filter?

    Also, you can disable the antivirus if installed some and check.

    Caution:
    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
