Is anyone else using MS Family Safety? I set it up a couple of years ago for my young kids and up until now it's been great for ensuring their time on the computer is as safe as possible with the minimum of fuss setting up. Overall I've been pretty happy with it, as it does a decent job of filtering/logging their internet site visits, and flagging any potentially innappropriate search terms. I can also restrict their time using the PC for games.
However, this week I've come up against an issue. For MS Family Safety to work as intended you need to stay with MS Edge. The problem I'm having is Edge appears to have ground to a halt on their respective profiles. It takes a fair few seconds to browse to a page and obviously this is causing frustrations. When using Edge on my profile there's no issues, but log in using their respective Microsoft accounts and it's a woeful experience. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this issue? I've tried the obvious fixes, clearing cache, repairing Edge, clearing DNS, etc etc, but to no avail. I'm now at a loss, as they need to access the internet, but I don't want to lose out on the nannying side of things as they're still quite young. I've had to install Chrome in the meantime which works absolutely fine.
EDIT: It's probably also worth mentioning that this is running Windows 11 23H2 with the latest updates applied. However, this problem seems more of a profile issue, given that it occurs over several different devices.
