Family Safety: keeping your kids safer with Windows
TM
parental control
You can create accounts for your kids and turn on Family Safety monitoring,
choose the limits and permissions you want your kids to have on apps, games,
websites, and even limit the amount of time they can spend on the device.
To turn on Family Safety, you – or at least one designated parent – need an
administrator account; the kids you choose to monitor need a child’s or a
standard user account.
To create a new child’s account
When you create a new account for your child, Family Safety is turned on
automatically.
1. Sign in to your device with an administrator account.
2. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings > Change PC
settings > Accounts > Other accounts > Add an account > Add a child’s
account link.
3. Do one of the following:
•
If your child already has an email address, enter it, tap Next, then follow the
instructions.
•
If you want to get a new email address for your child, tap Sign up for a new
email address and follow the instructions.
•
If you want your child to sign in to this device only, tap Add a child’s account
without email, and follow the instructions.
To turn on Family Safety for an existing child’s account
If your child already has a user account on your device, you can still turn on
Family Safety and begin monitoring their activities.
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings > Change PC
settings > Accounts > Other accounts.
2. Select the account you want to monitor with Family Safety, then tap Edit.
3. If your child doesn’t have a standard user account, see the previous To
create a new child’s account steps. In the Account type list, select Child >
OK.
4. Family Safety is only activated on the child’s account.
To log off the account, from the Start screen on the top-right corner, tap on the
account picture, then choose another account from the menu.
To turn off Family Safety for the account, go back to your administrator account.
On the desktop, double tap on the Family Safety shortcut icon > Child’s account
> Off (under Family Safety)
