not able to block specific apps in the Microsoft store on XB1 and XSX.

There needs to be a simple system to allow parents to block apps and games from being downloaded from the Microsoft Store. I'm trying to block my kid from downloading the free games including Roblox which has a history of having inappropriate content and multitudes of creeps on there. We should just be able to hit start on whatever game or app and click an option that says "block" and then it will ask for a parental pin or password. It baffles me that Microsoft doesn't have something this simple implemented.

Hello There ! I highly advise you to create a family account, When you create a family group, you can manage privacy and online safety settings for children and teens. I highly recommend checking the links bellow for further information regarding the familly account, and how to create it :

add them to family safety then you can block access to all games that you deem bad and stop them downloading stuff without asking. just look up family safety.

Its easy and not expensive to increase storage, 2tb on MS store specific for the XB1 is only 80 quid.
