Setting up Windows 10 to protect your kids

If your children use your computer, there are obvious dangers involved in what they might do, particularly when it comes to what they might stumble across on the web. Fortunately, to help keep little ones safe, Microsoft has provided Windows 10 with a robust set of family-orientated features, including Kids accounts (which restrict access to certain websites or apps and have time curfews). 

Windows 10 was also the first version of Microsoft’s desktop OS to introduce report cards on children’s activity that can be emailed to parents on a weekly basis. These reports include searched websites and similar details, which can be useful for monitoring a child’s computer usage without actually standing over them while they’re on the PC. 

All of these features are free and come preinstalled on Windows 10 PCs, tablets, and even smartphones (although in a more limited form). To access them, on the desktop go to the Cortana/search box bottom-left and search for ‘family’, then click on ‘Allow family members to use this PC’, which will take you through to the relevant part of the settings menu. You can create separate logins for different family members here and access all the parental control features – just click to sign in with your Microsoft account.
