WARNING: Windows 10 upgrades children to adults
Originally shared by Vivekananda Baindoor Rao
Sorry to be bearer of more bad news for Windows 10
Did you have your Windows 7 or 8 system set up with Child-friendly Family features and upgraded to Windows 10?
Windows 10 upgraded every child in your house to adulthood.
"That means any existing age-related website controls, app and game restrictions, PC time limits, plus your ability to view recent activity, won’t work on Windows 10.
Adults must now create a completely new set of family settings through a long-winded procedure in Windows 10 that requires the child’s participation."
More importantly: "Those unaware their old settings won’t work now risk exposing children on Windows 10 to porn, violence and other online dangers once they’ve upgraded."

Thanks for the heads up Andrew Hatchett and Vivekananda Baindoor Rao
ReplyDeleteSheila Hensley glad to be of help.
ReplyDeleteJust when I'd thought I had successfully protected myself from myself, they go and do this! (I have parental controls all over the place for myself to keep myself out of trouble and away from bad influences... well, I HAD them, that is.) :-p
