In Windows 8, family safety was excellent. I could set my daughter's account up as a 'child' and easily set curfews and time limits.
In Windows 10, I had to 'invite' her to be part of the family. Luckily I had her e-mail password, so I could 'accept' this request. Looking at that e-mail request, it says that (she) could remove herself from being a family member at any time - therefore thwarting the curfews and time limits. I deleted the e-mail after I 'accepted' on her behalf. Hopefully she won't figure out for a while how to 'remove' herself.
