Laptop app blocking not working
4.5
Restricted apps can still be launched by the child account.
Symptoms
- Blocked apps open
- No "Ask for permission" prompt
- Bypass via rename
Possible Causes
- App renamed
- Portable version used
- Sync delay
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Block by Executable
Ensure the specific .exe is blocked in Family Safety.
2
Prevent App Installation
Set the account to "Standard" so they can't install new apps.
3
Check for Portable Apps
Apps on USB drives may bypass local blocking.
When to See a Technician
App blocking is most effective when combined with a "Standard User" restriction to prevent new installs.
