How to Set Up Parental Controls in Microsoft 10

This wikiHow will teach you how to set up parental controls in Microsoft Windows 10. When you create a child account, two features are enabled by default: strict browsing parameters on Microsoft Edge and disabling the InPrivate browsing on Microsoft Edge. In conjunction with the ability to monitor the child's account, you'll have parental controls set up on that specific account.

    • To switch users, press the Windows key and click your profile picture that appears in the Start Menu, then click the child account's name.
    • From the "Family & other users" option in Settings, you can click "Manage family settings online" to go to your Microsoft account online where you can manage your family as well as apply parental controls to an existing family account. If the account is not in your family, you cannot add parental controls to it.

[Edit]Tips

  • In the online "Manage family settings" section, you can restrict web browsing for child accounts.
  • If you log in to the online "Manage family settings," you can see the child account's activity (like their web searches and web browsing) as well as their screen time. Click the Content restrictions tab to add restrictions to these sections, like setting a limit to how much time they can play a certain game. Click the Spending tab to limit how much they can spend and what purchases they can make. [1]
