  1. Family safety issues after formatting pc


    Hi. I reinstalled windows after formatting my sons computer. The computer name was different from last time, but I added him as user with his regular e-mail. It does not want to update in the family safety app. I can only see the old settings woth the old computer name, before formatting and reinstalling.I’ve tried deleting his user, and adding him again before adding his account on the computer. Still no difference.Any tips?

    :)

    Hi,

    Microsoft family features (includes family safety features formerly known as
    Microsoft Family Safety), is a free set of features available on Windows 10 PC and Mobile that is bundled with the Windows 10 operating system.
    Please ensure that the parent email account is set as an administrator on the child's laptop. Once done, you may follow the steps below to properly manage the settings on the Family Safety website:

    • On the Start screen, type Family Safety.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Click the Family Safety icon.
    • On the bottom part of the window, click Manage settings on the Family Safety website. Your default browser will direct you to the Family Safety website.
    • Sign in using the parent account.
