  2. Screen Time Limits Not Working

    When I first set screen time limits for my son's account by duration (x hours per day) all worked. when I added a time window to the limits (3p to 7p per day) the limits stopped working. Even if I block all access for the day my son can still play. Please
    help!

    thanks

    Screen Time Limits Not Working

    Hi there,

    to be sure check if the Screen time settings are correct at: Microsoft account | Your family

    After that have your son's account Sign out and Sign in again on the console.

    Also be sure to have the console do a full power cycle via the following steps:

    try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait until the power supply light turns and remains orange for at least 30 seconds before powering on again:

    Let us know the results

    Hey there ChickySmutts,

    Can you elaborate a bit for us? Which setting are you referring to? Is this something that you set up on the Xbox One console or on your Internet Router or something else?

    screen time limits not working

    I have tried all of those things but it still won’t work. I have signed out of everything, my account and child’s. We have restarted everything as well. No updates are needed. It worked fine until yesterday.

    Screen time work around

    You're welcome, mate. :)

    Well, you could use the same time limit for all of the devices:

    On your family group page, under your child's name, select Screen time.

    Use the same schedule for all devices, by switching, "Use one schedule for all devices" to On.
