Third party app permissions removed from Microsoft Family settings? All child to install programs in Windows?

The specific “parent PIN to allow this app to make changes” elevation prompt and per‑app install approvals for a child account are not covered in the provided context, and there is no documented way in this context to keep time restrictions while removing that elevation requirement.

The context only covers:

• Allowing or blocking access to third‑party apps and games in general for a child Microsoft account (web consent level).
• General application restrictions (allow/block specific programs) in older Windows Parental Controls / Family Safety.

From the available information, the only directly supported control related to third‑party apps is whether the child account can use apps that are not published by Microsoft at all. That is managed by the parent via the Microsoft account dashboard:

1. Sign in as a parent at https://account.live.com/mk.
2. In the list of child accounts, select Manage this child's access to third party apps.
3. Choose Enable access to allow the child to use apps that are not published by Microsoft.

Notes from the documentation:

• Even a family organizer can only manage consent if that same account originally granted consent.
• If the child does not appear, consent may not have been given yet, or was given by another adult or another Microsoft account.
• If Enable access does not appear, the child already has access to non‑Microsoft apps.

This control affects whether the child can use third‑party apps at all; it does not remove the elevation requirement for installing apps or allowing them to make changes.
