  1. Microsoft Family Safety cannot block Avast Secure Browser


    I've attempted to set usage restrictions and time limits on Avast Secure Browser using Microsoft Family settings on my child's laptop, but they're not effective. She's using this browser as an alternative to bypass the parental controls on Edge. Despite Microsoft Family's inability to enforce these limits on Avast Browser, the blocked applications list shows seven entries for Avast Secure Browser marked as "Locked." However, this clearly isn't the case. Can you explain why these restrictions aren't functioning with Avast Browser?I have provided feedback to the Microsoft team, and I h

    I have provided feedback to the Microsoft team, and I have seen the same question asked years ago by multiple users, too. I am astonished to see all these "regular" kids outsmarting the highly educated and well-paid army of proud Microsoft engineers.

    Microsoft Family Safety cannot block Avast Secure Browser

    Windows 10 Family Safety is blocking my browser!!!

    Can you confirm if you are out of the Family Safety feature on your parent's account on this
    link? If you've confirmed that you're no longer on the list of monitored child accounts, we suggest deleting the Family Safety folder. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows key + E on your keyboard.
    • On the address bar, type this address C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
      Enter.
    • Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
    • Restart and see if the issue is resolved.

    Let us know how it went for you.
