I have a question. I have a child Microsoft account, and I was wondering if my administrator can see my history when I am browsing as a guest. It would help me out a lot.
Sincerely,
Kian Peck

In such mode , the browser won't collect data but data still are being collected by Family Safety program regardless of what browser and what mode are you using.

2020-12-08T22:37:28+00:00 I use windows 10, but I'm not sure what internet explorer. For the internet explorer, I probably use the one that is the second most recent or the most recent. So can they see it on that?

2020-12-08T16:17:40+00:00 What version of Windows and Internet Explorer are you using?
It depends on the configuration of the parental control and in case you are using InPrivate browsing when you close your window, your history will be deleted unless there is configuration to collect your history using parental control.
