Microsoft Family Safety.

To stop Microsoft Family Safety from blocking the screen, the steps depend on whether the account is treated as a child or an adult, and whether it is in a family group.

1. Check if the account is in a Microsoft family group
   1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/family and sign in.
   2. If no family members are listed, the account is not currently in a family group. If a family is listed, the account is part of that group as either an Organizer or a Member.
2. If the account is an adult Organizer and the device still has Family Safety restrictions Family Safety settings can remain on a device even when they should not apply. To reset them on Windows 10/11:
   1. Press Windows key + R to open Run.
   2. Type cmd and select OK.
   3. In the Command Prompt window, run:

            schtasks /run /tn "Microsoft\Windows\Shell\FamilySafetyRefreshTask"
      

   4. Restart the computer. These steps must be run on each device that is still enforcing Family Safety settings.
3. If the account is an adult but is a Member in a family group When an account is a Member in a Microsoft family group, the Organizer controls Family Safety settings (screen time, content filters, etc.). In this case:
   • Only the Organizer can turn off or change the safety settings.
   • Contact the family Organizer and ask them to remove or relax the restrictions for this account at https://account.microsoft.com/family.
4. If the account is a child account Child accounts cannot remove Family Safety controls themselves. A family Organizer must:
   1. Sign in at https://account.microsoft.com/family.
   2. Select the child account.
   3. Adjust or remove screen time, content filters, and other limits.
   4. If appropriate, the Organizer can remove the child from the family group, which also removes Family Safety controls for that account.
5. If the device was previously managed by Family Safety but is no longer in a family group Even if the account is no longer in a family group, the device might still enforce old Family Safety settings. Use the same reset steps as in step 2 on each affected device:
   1. Windows key + R → cmd → OK.
   2. Run:

            schtasks /run /tn "Microsoft\Windows\Shell\FamilySafetyRefreshTask"
      

   3. Restart the computer.

If the goal is to completely stop using Family Safety for all accounts, an Organizer can also delete the family group by removing all members and then leaving the group.
