Utilize Net USER CMD to manage child times effectively.
Hi, trying to restrict my Kids' access times on Windows 10 without the whole family thing. using CMD Net user: I want to restrict him to these times: Monday: 2pm -7pm Tues -Thurs: 3Pm-7pm Friday: 3pm-1am Sat Morning Saturday: 7am-1pm Sun morning Sunday: 7am-6pm So i did this: M,14:00-19:00;T-Th,15:00-19: 00;F,15:00-24:00;S,00:00-01: 00;S,15:00-24:00;Su,00:00-01 :00;Su,07:00-18:00 Net user said it was accepted etc. etc. So i get home today and it's 7:30pm and he is on the computer and he said "It didn't turn off at 7" Obviously i'm doing something wrong. Any help. Thanks
You handled it correctly, but your assumptions are incorrect (what you thought the net user command should accomplish). Applying time limits with the net command merely restricts access during specified periods, it won’t automatically end a session when logon hours end. You can enable forced logout through group policy, though in Win10 Home you won’t have access to the editor unless you upgrade. If the account isn’t local or domain-based but a Microsoft account, the solution likely won’t apply. Over time I’ve developed a strong dislike for Windows—it’s just a chaotic operating system. It’s probably wiser to use a third-party tool instead of trying to manage it within the OS, especially if you’re not comfortable with the setup.
