    Hello Mos Del

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Regarding to your information I assume that you can't use Google Chrome now.

    It seems because of the setting of your Family safety setting.

    If you have a family manager account or family organizer account you can follow these steps

    Use these accounts login the Family Safety.

    Microsoft Family Safety

    Find your account in the Family Safety.

    Click Go to overview

    Click Screen time

    Click Apps and games

    Find the **Chrome->**Click Unblock app.

    If your account doesn't enter any Family group it seems that a permission problem with your account.

    You can create a new adult account and then invite your old account into a new family group and then follow the steps provided above

    to cancel the block of Chrome.

    If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    Tommy-MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
