The device is a PC with Windows 11. Device added to and shows up for family member on Family Safety App. Web and Search feature works but Screen Time is not. The device is shown as No Usage. When I initially set up the PC, I had my kid as the Administrator but then changed him to standard user and myself as the Administrator. It seems like once I made that change is when the Screen Time feature stop working. I tried to remove him from Family and re-adding him back in. This did not work. Also tried installing updates and rebooting but nothing works. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue. Trying to figure out if it is a setting on my side that can be fixed or if it is just a bug on MS side. I have a Norton Anti-Virus but I don’t think this would be the root of the cause.
Thanks

Same issue but I've always been the admin and it previously worked but stopped a few weeks ago for no obvious reason. Worse yet the original downtime limits still kick in but I've no ability to provide extra time
Same. I'm the admin. Kids are standard users. no changes made. App no longer registers screen time or granting more. tried unstalling app and reistalling. Think MS has another issue and hope they willl resolve here.
None of the proposed solutions work.
I'm using the android app to control Xbox and windows access. All platforms have all the latest updates installed
What I do know is the following:
Bottom line is the app does not appear to be communicating with windows.
We're having the same issue here too, and have had this issue since the latest app update. Have even gone so far as to completely uninstall and reinstall the app in all devices and it has consistently not worked.
Thanks for your response. I’ve tried all of your suggestions but still no luck. I even tried to remove the device and him as a family member and adding him back on. I changed the device’s name and did notice it was also changed on the App (App is on IOS). I did a test web search and that feature still works but no screen time monitoring. The only other thing I can think of is to delete his profile on the PC and adding him back into account as a user.
