We are trying to restrict the time our son can play Roblox on his PC using Microsoft family app blocking settings. It works as long as the app is called from the task bar, but not when called from the start menu. There is also no visible option to remove the Roblox app from the start menu.

How can this fixed besides uninstalling the app which is not the intention?

    Really? Your net net worldly wisdom is to say, after a May 28th msft forced update (2004) does it now work?  One that landed 9 days ago. 

    There is a large number of noddy people on various forums who live off writing drivel about are you on the latest update, perhaps they get paid. 

    Clearly not an engineer, nor even a 1st line tech. Don't reply lost interest.

    Hey there, ReinhardKar

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums. 

    We are trying to restrict the time our son can play Roblox on his PC using Microsoft family app blocking settings. It works as long as the app is called from the task bar, but not when called from the start menu. 

    So when your son is playing Roblox, and his time limit is exceeded. He can launch the game from start menu and play it still?

    Please can you share a video of your screen, of what is happening?

    You will need to upload it to OneDrive with a share link. Please do not share any Personal Identifiable information. 

    Regards,

    Hey there, everyone

    I have given this a try, and found that I was easily able to reproduce this. 

    I have escalated this thread.
