Does Microsoft Have Parental Controls?
Microsoft offers a fairly robust set of parental controls in Windows 11 that you can use to control your child’s activity on your computer. These built-in parental controls allow you to block your children from accessing harmful websites, set limits on screen time, view activity reports to see how and when your child is using the computer, and oversee app and game purchases. For the parental controls to work, your child needs to log into Windows 11 using the account you create for them. If you leave your account logged in, the child will have full access to Windows 11. When the child logs into their account, the controls will limit their access to the internet, apps, and the amount of screen time they’re allowed to use according to automatic settings based on their age. You can also customize all of these settings to your specifications.
