Help: App restrictions web UI not saving changes

03. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

I am using Family Safety on Windows 7 for my kids' PCs and tried to enable app restrictions to limit/allow games that are not rated.

 

When I enabled App Restrictions couple of weeks ago - it worked as expected, blocking some games that I wanted to block.

But I accidentally disabled wrong executable in that dialog and now it turned out that there is no way to allow it back.

Whatever I do on Family Safily web site in App restriction UI - it is not saving my changes - all games/executables stay blocked as I selected it originally.

So, the only way to fix it was to disable App restrictions completely. Luckily that worked.

I tried managing blocked apps on different computers (Win 8, Win 8.1) and all browsers (different IEs, latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari) with no luck.

 

But the problem remains - how can I block particular app or how to make that app restriction UI start saving the changes?

I am running Windows 8 and need to remove the email restrictions from my daughters' accounts.  I am not seeing a place for email restrictions - just for website & time restrictions.  Where do I need to go to take care of this?  Thank you

All of a sudden I am unable to send any more email messages today because the is a daily quantity restriction?  Why now when I have never had this issue before?
