• Restrictions does not not propely in Microsoft family safety

  Original title: Microsoft family safety

  I would like to know if anyone else has problems with their security settings for the family microsoft for minors does not not accordingly.  He worked for a few months, then the sections of restriction has been changed.  You used to be able to assign access during specific hours and block the other hours, but now its only giving the ability to allow access from any given time.  This does not work either.  All parameters have been set, but the account is able to log on during all hours of the day and the time spent on the computer is not being connected either!  I need help please.  The only other option at this point which is proof of the failure is to completely deny access completely, but I don't think that's fair.  Someone, anyone, please give me some advice.

• Microsoft Family safety began just prevent Chrome GMail and Google Reader works on a child account - anyone know why?

  I am running Windows 7 and use parental control for several years.  My kids use Google Chrome with GMail and GoogleDrive for a lot of their homework.  In recent days on the child accounts Chrome slow down considerably with the message "establish a secure connection" when it starts for centuries, and then finally "Gmail App is not available".  After trying everything else (cookies, compensation, disabling extensions, historical disconnect account) I turned off parental control of Microsoft, and Chrome came back to life.  I've now changed the security settings to "block adult sites" to "warn on adult sites" and Chrome works very well.  I'm not happy to leave this setting to warn but need to at the moment, so that they can do their homework.  Is this a Microsoft problem or is there anything else I can try to solve it?

• Windows 8 family safety does not.

• Windows Family Safety API from c# 8?

  Someone knows a good way to access the new Windows 8 parental from c#? Or any other programming language or scripting tool also?

  I want to write a small program that would connect to the Microsoft Family Safety website and check a number for a child is standing.

  I often allow full web access (temporarily) leave my child work on projects and then forget to turn it off. Thus ranks more games and bad. That's why I need the app: current settings to check several times a day and warn me if restricting web access has been disabled.

  In Windows 8, they leave the Windows GUI access to this web site: http://familysafety.microsoft.com. I don't know there is a way to access from Windows via a kind of API (I have Windows installed on another computer 8.1). I can't depend on the analysis of HTML pages, and an app like this is going to die the moment they change the web site (which is at any time).

  No documentation on MSDN.

  I found a few tips here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5711277/change-users-parental-control-settings-using-wmi-in-c-sharp but this appears to be an old API that does not access the accounts the on the computer on which it is called. I need to connect to all that is the equivalent of http://familysafety.microsoft.com (I'll pass the info to login) and then read the settings.

  Thank you!

• Windows 8 family safety

  I bought a HP Pavilion g6-2218nr with Windows 8 (64 bit) for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas and really want to activate the security settings for the family.  No matter what I do, when I go into parental control settings, I get an error "Sorry, we could not make changes to parental controls settings."  I tried:

  -Updating of the BONE

  -a clean install of the operating system

  -change of a local account to a windows account that is linked to me (parent)

  -modification of a local account to a windows related to my daughter account

  Either way, once I started using a Windows account, I tried to go into the settings of PC more-> account settings Online-> permissions-> parental settings and try to activate the parameters of family from there, I see the error "there is a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to receive this message, try again later. »

  If possible, I definitely want to do local accounts rather than linked, but I'm willing to use the linked accounts as long as I can get parental control work.

• How do I create a Parent account to Windows Live family safety?

  Hello

  I have a Windows Live account and I have created several others to implement parental controls of Windows, but I could not.  With all the accounts that I created, I continue to encounter one or two messages error with or the other account.  It is said that "this service is not available at this time" and other States that the account is not registered as a Parent.  I read the comments to discussion threads where advice is given on how to fix known issues associated with these error messages, and none of them work for me.  When I connect to Windows Live with an account, any account, they look alike, and it is never an option to add a child with the exception of the link subsumed under permissions.  When I click permissions and click to add an account, all that I see is the ability to add social media accounts in my Windows Live account.  I tried almost every permutation I can think to solve this problem.  Provide advice.  Thank you.

• Family Safety Windows blocking is not enough

  I have activated Windows parental controls for a child account on Windows 8.1 and disabled all applications that are registered except Chrome.

  I tested and it blocks a lot of things, but allows much more than just Chrome.

  I disabled the downloads in the center of the family, but downloading files via Chrome still works.

  Once connected was - this child account, I opened regedit and was able to tinker around in the registry and change everything that can create or modify a standard user account.

  Notepad works.  I created a .bat with some commands file and saved to the desktop.  Then, I clicked on it and run the script without any problems.

  Turn off all the sliders to block applications seems to give a false impression that the user is locked a lot more than they really are.

  Are there other applications and executable blocking settings that can be activated in the parental control?

  How can I set this up so that the child's account runs, which is expressly authorized in the white list and no other programs such as regedit, notebook, random scripts, etc.. ?

  I want this Windows system either as malware as possible evidence all being usable for surfing the web like a Chromebook, but this does not do.

  If the download blocking only works for IE, I couldn't remove Chrome in the list allow applications, but this still does not resolve the other issues listed.

• Family safety is unable to connect to the service, WMI/COM questions

  So, to start with the necessary technical information.  I'm having the problem on new systems within one of these configurations:

  Windows 8

  Windows 8 Pro

  Windows 8 improved to 8.1

  Windows Pro upgraded to 8.1 8.1

  After I installed the operating system and all the available patches, I can add an account and (to Win 8) Note that accounts for the child.  If I try to point 8.1, I get error dreaded "we can communicate with the service right now, please try again later".

  In Control Panel, when I click on 'Manage settings on the Security site family' I pause then the error "sorry, the service is not available.

  Search in the event logs, in the Microsoft-Windows-WMI-activity/Operational log I get an error, 5858 EventID:

  ID = {5144FE76-A71F-0007-0DFF-44511FA7CF01}; ClientMachine = nom_netbios; User = NETBIOS_Name\FirstName; ClientProcessId = 3640; Unknown = element; Operation = IWbemServices::ExecMethod - ROOT\CIMV2\Applications\WindowsParentalControls\Secured Start: WpcWebSync::EnableSynchronization; ResultCode = 0x803D0013; PossibleCause = unknown

  The GUID changes from attempt to attempt, and I can't find the GUID in the registry.

  Race to the resolution of security issues family continues to tell me that I have corrupted files (and it has fixed their), reboot, and the problem persists.  If I could find on what files have been corrupted as the fixed store who could help, but I'm not sure.

  SFC/scannow does detect no error

  There is no installed applications outside that comes with windows (new installation).

  I configured 2 child accounts.  Family safety works on a laptop computer Windows 8.1.

  I can connect (browser) on the family safety website.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi MarKenin,

  I am a developer in the parental control team.  I'm sorry that you have had this problem with our product.  I don't want to thank you for providing an impressive amount of detail in your message.

  The WMI event, you found is indeed notable--it was our attempt to contact our service to add your machine to the parental control service.  The error code was an HRESULT value of 0x803D0013, which indicates that the web service returned an error.  There is no way to pick which was exactly the mistake, but we do actively monitor and review the errors that occur on our service to identify and solve problems that arise.

  We found a question that might have prevented Microsoft specific accounts to set up parental controls on all devices, the period you were trying to bring to the top of your devices.  The problem has been resolved, and we continue to monitor our service as well as these forums to identify new issues.

  Thank you

  Daniel

• Cannot connect to the Family Safety website

  I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Family Safety does not appear as a product of Windows Essentials...

  MOD: It's because he was transferred on Windows forums. I have moved your question to you 

  Quesiton:

  For some reason I can't connect to the Web page for the family (https://familysafety.microsoft.com/) security controls

  I see the browser tries to do something, it passes between the two following URLS 3 - 4 times before giving up.

  https://Familysafety.Microsoft.com/?WA=wsignin1.0

  https://login.live.com/login.SRF?WA=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=12&CT=1408500875&RVER=6.4.6456.0&WP=SAPI&wreply=https:%2f%2Ffamilysafety.Microsoft.com%2f%3Fwa%3Dwsignin1.0&LC=3081&ID=286847

  When he does not get the following error message;

  "Connect: something was wrong and we cannot connect you right now." "Please try again later".

  There is not much other info on the Web page other than an image of laptop with 'your account, our priority '.

  I tried to log in security for the family for 24 hours now with the same result every time.

  I tried to use the browsers Internet Explorer, Mozilla & Chrome, same result every time.   I tried two different places, home and work.

  My e-mail and password are correct;  I can connect to mail.live.com using the same credentials which, whatever the reason, still works.

  Only, I can't access security controls for the family on the Web site.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Matthew

  Well, I reacted to the error description of the psionic with a known antidote to the symptoms he describes. This is clearly not the solution in this case, I went hunting and found dozens of threads on exactly the same problem. The solution the most common seems to involve logging on http://profile.live.com with the FS username and password, then using the change at the top button on the left to enter your first and last name. If you are already connected to another account, you must do it in a new browser session, for example in mode InPrivate of Internet Explorer.
