Family time limit on Xbox

Fix screen time limits not working

• There are two ways you can set up screen time. Set up separate schedules for Xbox One and Windows 10, or create one schedule for all devices, see
  
  Setting up screen time limits for your child.
• If screen time isn't working the way you expect it to, keep the following in mind:
  
  • With the latest update of Windows, you're able to set up one schedule that'll apply across all of your child's devices. This means if you give them five hours in a day, they'll have five hours between their Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. Otherwise,
    time gets tracked separately, so 1 hour of screen time means 1 hour per device.
  • Check to make sure your family’s devices have the latest Windows updates by selecting the
    Start button, then selecting Settings
    > Update & Security > Windows Update
    > Check for updates and installing any available updates. If you're on your child's device now,
    check if it needs an update.
  • Try rebooting your family’s devices. Select the Start button, then select
    Power > Restart.
    
  • Make sure your child is signed in with their Microsoft account on their device. If they are, you can check to make sure their account is syncing up right. Select the
    Start button, then select Settings
    > Accounts and follow the prompts to verify their account.
    
• Prevent kids from creating new accounts that aren't part of your Microsoft family (or subject to screen time limits):
  
  • On your Xbox, press the Xbox button, then select
    System > Settings
    > System > Signed-out content restrictions. Then create a guest key and turn off
    Let people download & make new accounts. From then on, you'll need a guest key to add new accounts.

Hey
Kronkovitz,

Thank you for reaching out to Xbox forums support. Thanks for responding with the update!

If you haven't already done so, go ahead and try performing a Soft console Factory
reset on your console by doing the following:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select All Settings.
4. Select System.
5. Select Console info & updates.
6. Select Reset console. [KEEP MY GAMES AND APPS]

Make sure you have both your email and password on hand as you will be asked to sign back in. There is an option to delete everything and to save your games and apps; choose the latter. [KEEP MY GAMES AND APPS]

Once this action is performed and your console is totally refreshed, go ahead and set up his time restrictions usage again.

Hope this helps! Let us know!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Upon reading the description you have posted, it seems that you have an issue with Xbox wherein as an organizer of your Xbox family group. You want to know how to set limits.

By the way, here are the information we would like you to check. On how you can set time limits on you Xbox family group:

Set screen time limits for your Xbox family group

You can manage how long members in your Xbox family group spend on their Xbox and Windows devices. While you can’t manage these settings from the Xbox console, you can configure screen time limits from the web and the Xbox Family Settings app.

Note After screen time limits are set, time counts down whenever a member is signed in. Make sure that they sign out when they’re not actively using their device.

Set screen time limits on the web

If you’re an organizer in your Xbox family group, sign in to your Microsoft account on the Microsoft Family site.

Sign in to your Microsoft account

1. On your family group page, select the member whose account you want to manage, and then select the Screen time tile.
   
2. From this page, you can connect new Xbox, Windows, and Android devices to their account. You can also adjust their daily and weekly screen time schedules. Select the device, and then select Turn limits on if this is your first time setting up this device type.
   
   Note Use the toggle under Use one schedule on all devices to simplify and manage all devices with the same screen time limits.
   
3. Use the listed time slots to adjust screen time limitations for a day or an entire week. You can adjust the applicable days, time limit, and time range.
   
4. Select Done to save the configurations that you’ve set.
   
5. To disable screen time limits for a device, select the More options button next to the device that you’re managing, and then select Turn limits off.
   

Set screen time limits with the Xbox Familly Settings app

The Xbox Family Settings app on Android and iOS allows organizers in the family group to manage members’ gaming settings and activity on Xbox consoles.
