15 & 2 minutes left banner is taking him out of his games

CoertzePeters · May 8, 2022

First off, my son is on windows ten, and has tried everything to his end to get rid of the prompts that block his from playing his final 15 minutes of screen time. When he came to me today to ask if there was any way to get rid of these, we spent the entire night trying to find a single solution to this problem. So if anyone at least responds to this message, we would appreciate it if you could gives us step-by-step instructions or even a video explaining what to do to get rid of these annoying banners.

(this is an example of what this pop-up banner looks like)

I hope you come quick and have a safe day,

Hello again, in the Windows start bar, click on the magnifying glass (search) and type "Notifications", this will take you the settings of system notifications.

Thats what he was giving you in his second response. What you are referring to as a banner are more commonly known on computers/phones as notifications. But there’s also the possibilty your son will complain more if you get rid of them entirely, as he will have no notice when his time will stop and may therefore start a game if any of them are online games only to be kicked out of the game since his time is up.

You have not payed attention to my original questions, how do i get rid of the 15&2 minutes left banner that is kicking my son out of his games. I do not want to disable screen time and would like a specific setting to turn off.
