    I don't know where to categorize this, but the gist is that I would love for my kids to have access to a "moderated" windows store, with access to things that are appropriate for their age, but the store is preloaded with garbage--movies and tv with descriptions that are inappropriate for them and games that are rated teen and mature. Is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to uninstall the store and then reinstall it when I want to install a game, and then uninstall it again!! I tried the family safety but it only seems to have effect when the kids are searching something online. It seems ridiculous that you can only use parental controls online, but not on the PC itself! Am I missing something?

    :)

    Is there a way to apply parental controls to the windows store? For example, I don't want my little kids to be able to see the movies and tv and their descriptions, or games that are rated Mature.

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    What you need to do is create a restriction for the Windows Store app.

    Go to App and game limits >>> select the Microsoft Store >>> Block App. You can also restrict other non-Microsoft browsers from there.

    Boosters need to be BANNED!

    I don't mind parents letting their kids play online as long as they're limited with parental controls (not being allowed to talk to strangers for example). That way, they can still have fun online while playing it safe under their parent's watchful eye &
    they can't bother me with their hyper-activity disorder... ;)

    How to stop a child purchasing games

    Its not hard to understand what you don't understand is you are responsible for all your child's actions on unrestricted accounts

    If you want your child to be controlled you must put them on a child account this is the same with all consoles

    Parental responsibility has always been with the parent not a inanimate object

    All consoles have parental settings that must be applied

    And child controls that have to be setup

    removing credit card

    Parental controls on the said account will stop any purchases as long as you apply them

    Assuming you put them on a childaccount and don't give them the password

    If you pit them on a adult account there is no parental control

    How to log out of Fortnight guest account and link my son's Microsoft profile?

    I would use his own log on, that way he would have all his things and you could apply Fortnite parental controls.
