There is only 1 thing worse than Windows 8 and that is Family Safety in Windows 8. I have set this up so many times and it works for a day or so and the next thing I know my son is up half the night playing on his new laptop because the time limits or curfew did not work. I have read all sorts of forums and tried numerous things but still cannot get it to stick. Here is a list from memory what I have tried already -
- Deleted the "corrupted" files in the Family Safety folder
- Added a MS account for me, the parent to monitor
- Turned FS off and then back on
- Accessed from website on other computer (this was great when it did work. My son would call me at work and ask for a little more time and I could grant it without giving up my password.)
- I have read that I can "refresh" the FS program manually by clicking on some icon in the upper right corner but have yet to find that button.
Can someone provide a step by step process to make this work properly. Although I could not access remotely and only had curfew hours available on Win 7, at least it worked.
Thanks in advance for any help.
