About this tag
Microsoft Family is a suite of parental control tools integrated into Windows 10 and Windows 11. It allows parents to manage screen time, filter websites and searches, and monitor children's digital activities through a Microsoft Family Group. The feature can be affected by Windows updates, such as the Anniversary Update, which may reset user preferences. Microsoft Family is also included as an inbox app in Windows 11 Insider builds. Users can configure web and search filtering via Microsoft Edge on Windows or Android devices. The system requires a family group with organizer and child accounts to function.
