    Hide installed games on child's account?


    Is it possible to install for ex. GTA5 when logged on to my parental account, and then make it invisible when my child is logged on with his account?

    Or do you have a better suggestion to have a game like this installed, working only when I play and not when kids are using the console?

    :)

  2. Control Screen Time

    Hi, make sure your child's account is under your family, then log in on here Microsoft account | Your family then under your child's account, select screen time, and from
    there you can choose how long your child can have on the Xbox and a PC with Windows 10 installed too.

    Games Dashboard changed after I pressed some buttons

    When I look on my console once I star an installation from that list it will move from there into the main installed game section.

    Also with the hide game option it has been mentioned a few times and I would expect we will get this feature back very soon.

    You should use the consoles parental controls to prevent your children playing games they shouldn't like GTAV.

    Go into Settings>Privacy & Online Safety

    Select Content Restrictions/Access to content

    From here you can adjust what content can be played and accessed.

    Once you have set your options, select "Hide listings in search, stores, and apps" which will prevent your children from even finding the content on the console store.

    I tried that, but the game is there to play even after just starting the Box, not being logged on?

    I mean there's games to play right after starting before picking which user to play with??

    Works now! I also restricted the Guestaccount from using games rated 18 yrs, and set a pincode for that account.

    And when my son is logged on that age restriction worked too.

    I want to be able to hide mature games that I have purchased (GTA 5) from my kids login account. I don't want them to know that the game is on the console. How do I request this as an a new feature? Your current parental controls block kids from playing
    it. I want to block them from even knowing I purchased a mature game.
