Set restrictions on games and apps
Setting limits on the games and apps your child’s allowed to use is similar to setting their website restrictions:
you can set an age-and-content-based rating level for all games and for those apps they can see in or download
from the Windows Store, or you can allow or block specific, individual titles.
• To use Windows Store and game rating levels
1. Press Game restrictions, and then press Rating.
2. Make sure that restrictions are turned on, and then use the slider to choose a rating level. You can also
use a different game rating system if you prefer.
The Windows Store bases its download restrictions on a child’s game restrictions in Family Safety.
• To allow or block specific games
1. Press Game restrictions, and then press Game list. Make sure that game restrictions are turned on.
2. Select options for specific games as appropriate.
• To set other app restrictions
You can also decide whether to let your child use other apps and software, whether it’s downloaded from
the Windows Store or not.
1. Tap or click App restrictions.
2. Make sure that app restrictions are turned on, and then choose the available apps you want to allow or
block as appropriate.
Manage your child’s requests
Over time, the settings you apply to your family’s tablet activities can evolve. For example, your child might want
to download and play a new game everyone’s talking about, do some Internet research for a school project, or
get a little more tablet time to finish a homework assignment. In Family Safety, your child can send you email
requests for new apps, games, or websites they want permission to use. You can always deal with those requests
individually, but you can also manage them all in one place on the Family Safety website.
1. Press Requests.
Recent permission requests are organized according to category.
2. Next to each request, press the drop-down list under Response and choose an action.
