How do I set a screen time limit schedule for myself (adult) to turn off at night?

Question

How do I set a screen time limit schedule for myself (adult not child) on windows 11 and 10? I lose track of time when working and want my computer to pause the screen past 10 pm and not let me use the computer anymore. And ideally if I could also make it tell me when its been say 4 hours and pause it. I don't know why its so hard compared to apple

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

Greg Carmack Independent Advisor posted a solution to a user who had a similar issue:

"There's no way using Microsoft Family Safety to set up restrictions on any other than a child account. So you'd have to set up a separate account to do this.

You might have better luck with one of the other more fully-featured parental controls:

I wish I had something more to offer, but as it is MS Family Safety is limited and somewhat buggy.
