• After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

  I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

  It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

  . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

  I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

  I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

  The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Cancel the Parental control, because I'm the Parent: but not Administrator of my computer

  I myself blocked on my computer. I didn't know that Apple was the administrator of the computer, and I was a user. I turned on the 'enable parental control' to limit the spending of my adolescence, while using my apple ID. I didn't know I was putting controls on myself. I tried everything-

  (1) connected on Mac of my son tried to remote access, file sharing, etc. He is a Director on his computer, and we've even created a new user on his computer. Nothing has worked.

  (2) tried questions help and support, impossible to find a way around it.

  (3) I've changed my password, now I can't even shut down the computer.

  I can't believe that this happened to someone, somewhere, and it's so easy to do.

  If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

  Step 1

  Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

  Step 2

  This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

• Place the Parental control over the Admin account

  I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

  Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

  I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

  Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

• Problems with the parental control on the administrator account.

  Never use us the 'administrator' account as I have not configured any other account (it was unnecessary since there are no children in the House).  Whenever I try to download a game, I have problems.  It will finish the download, but as soon as I try to start the game, it gives me an error message saying 'parental controls have prevented this application to run.  I don't know why it gives this error and won't let me in the game, since I'm on the administrator account and it wont let me make changes to parental controls for the administrator account.  Anyone know what is the problem and how can I solve this problem?  Thank you!!!

  Try to create another administrator account, and then connect to that account and try to change or disable the parental control for the administrator account.  I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.

  Good luck!

• On Vista Home Edition, Parental control management is unable to make any changes

  Management of parental controls in Vista to work well.  I have 2 installation before accounts with web filtering and time limits.  Recently, it stopped working.  I can't set a new STANDARD user account to turn on Parental controls.  It makes Flash the admin for a fraction of a second screen, then a Pop box appears "unable to make changes. If the problem persists, please contact an administrator "."  I AM an administrator.  I also activated the hidden administrator account, use it and always save the message.  I looked at the Regedit settings and everything looks ok.

  The first 2 accounts that configure before I can still change some characteristics, even if the pop box will appear with the same error message.  The changes take effect.  I only seem to change for web filtering and time restrictions only now.  Restriction of program does not work.

  Halima,

  Thanks for the suggestions.

  Yes, a number of new programs over time. I don't know when the issue of PC started then has no way for me to go back unless I have remove all the programs that I installed, which is a lot.

  Yes, I tried PC without my AntiVirus running. Then I tried to stop every non-essential service, 1 by 1, until only the essential services remained running.  None of these permits.

  I tried to run mode without failure. Integrated also in Safe Mode with the administrator account. The two did not work.

  I tried to create 2 new users, 1 admin, 1 standard. Add the PC later to the standard.  Did not work.

  All of these suggestions I've tried. I search the Web and found that this is a very common problem with no sound resolution. I was able to get mine to work again. It won't work that if there is already a standard account EXISTING with control Parental already setup on it (before the bug has started to happen).  These are the steps I did to solve:

  -Use Regedit, look for new & existing userid & note the KeyIDs
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList]
  -KeyID for existing user is [S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1003]
  -Now go to the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Parental Controls\Users]
  -On existing KeyID, right-click > export > select the location for the file such as c:\temp\Existing.reg .reg
  -Edit c:\temp\Existing.reg & change the KeyID to that for the new user you add to Parental control.
  In my case, I did a 'replace' to:
  S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1003--< the="" existing="" uid="">
  and "replace all" with the KeyID of the new user
  S-1-5-21-692013207-3584402868-2609430525-1009--< the="" new="" uid="">
  -Run the command to import the registry file [regedit c:\temp\Existing.reg]
  -Click OK at the prompt to import the new registry key

  I could now GET IN to Parental control to fine tune the new user.  When I change, I always get the pop box saying "unable blah blah", but when I return to the user, the changes are effective.

• Parental control &amp; YouTube

  I turned on parental controls, and all of a sudden my Youtube app is gone, is anyway to prevent this app to disappear? I tried to allow youtube.com in the Web sites section to allow restrictions, but that did not help. Any ideas?

  The app is rated 17 +, so if you want to restrict apps it be hidden – the only way to stop that is not to restrict apps (which allows to youtube.com as a website will allow it on Safari, it won't unlock the app)

• I want to look through the history even after it gets deleted for parental control, how to proceed?

  I wonder what are the sites my daughter runs after sitting in a corner with the laptop for hours, when asked a simple answer is not available and it's the end of the conversation. I have no doubt about it, I want to know if she is simply wasting time or seriously work and to be cool, although the question is here because the story is always empty...

  Hello

  I won't say anything to try to 'spy' on your activities of girls on his device.

  If you're worried about what pages it visits and navigate too, it is easier to set up the network to run after devices in the household.

  If you chase the laptop to see the navigation history, she finds, it will change just by phone (if it has) instead and lock with pin codes and so on.
  It can also easily just be set to private Mode and avoid any local history for you to check.

  To configure the network, and the web pages that are available, you will find what your router and as an option, you may be able to use https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/parental-controls/

  But a better way is to focus and guide internet works and what to stay away from and so on. If it is a matter of concern.

• Management of user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8

  Hello

  I'll post a thread on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

  A user account allows you to connect to Windows 8. By default, your computer already has a user account that you have been
  needed to create when you configure Windows 8. If you want to share your computer, you can create a separate for each Member of your household or office user account. You can also choose to associate any user account with a Microsoft account. Signature with a Microsoft account will bring all your SkyDrive files, contacts and more in the start screen. You can even connect to another computer that has Windows 8 and all your important files will be there.

  Here is a video on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

  Also, here is a document showing you how to manager Our user on Windows 8.

  If you have any questions let me know.

• Impossible to turn off parental control in Windows 10

  Today, I met a rather frustrating problem.

  After starting my laptop with preview W10, build 10130, I noticed a guest who said that safety was turned on, but before I could click it for more information, he disappeared. Nothing in my status bar bar toolbar or notification, just nothing. So I thought it was just misplaced something, after all, it's a preview, it's just a bug.

  I was wrong.

  Eager to visit a website judged inappropriate for children, I got a splashscreen on my browsers, Spartan and Maxthon says the same thing: ask permission, you; ll need to ask an adult to your family if you can visit [the site].

  It's weird, I have a 20 your old man, perhaps not really mature, but I'm an adult. So, why can I not see this website? I looked through my Microsoft account and found my "family", consisting of me and my father, two adults according to the family of Microsoft. After having kicked out of the family and my father hunted himself too, I thought that the problem would be gone. Evil. The same problem.

  Clicking on the button "request email" now gives an error message, ' something was wrong that we are working - try again in a little bit. "

  Then I started looking on the internet how to close parental controls in W8 and W10, I found http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-i-switch-off-parental-control/25fd2b1a-58e3-4648-b6a7-90fff12027c2, but arriving on 3, I have a problem: on the specified location, there is no link 'parental control '. I've looked everywhere on the control panel and settings, but I can't find anywhere the parental control. I found something on the Microsoft Family, but clicking on that does nothing. Nothing opens either.

  My MS account is set on my real birthday, as my Skype account. I am admin on my phone, if this is not the problem.

  So, how can I turn off parental control on my build W10 10130?

  I found the solution (which worked for me):

  1. In (modern) settings > account > your account
  2. Press "connect you with a local account instead.
  3. Create a temporary account
  4. Sign in with the new account
  5. In (modern) settings > account > family & others
  6. Under 'Your family' should be a link where you can reconnect to a MS Account (I don't know the exact name of the link). Just tap it ;)
  7. Sign out and you should be able to sign back with your MS Account
  8. Everything should work now :)

• Windows parental control will not sync with my computer

  I tried to leave my child to use a new Web site on the Windows parental control.  I was able to connect to my account online successfully (hotmail) parental control), but when the ToolTip for parental control is displayed on my screen, it tells me that the ID or the password is incorrect. Neither is incorrect.  I tried to uninstall the parental control of one of the computers and reinstall it to see if it would help, but it did not help.  I tried to remove the account from the child for a specific PC and reset the settings on the computer this way, but it also did not work.  It's almost as if the pop-up window is more related to the website password information.  The family safety website will allow me to change the permissions, but he won't let the connection of individual computers on the site to make changes that the child is allowed to see.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  ... He told me that the ID or the password is incorrect. Neither is incorrect.

  You have probably enabled two-step verification for the account. This means that you will need to generate a unique password app to use safe family rather than the account password.
