Certain laws require Microsoft to protect children from harmful and illegal content on the internet. Microsoft is committed to creating tools for parents and guardians to help them in guiding their children’s digital experiences and protect them from harmful and illegal online content.

One of the available tools is web filtering, which lets a parent or guardian filter websites. Currently, Microsoft Edge provides this functionality within Microsoft Family Safety, allowing Edge to be used by default on the child’s device after web filtering is enabled. Once web filtering is enabled, a parent or guardian needs to approve other browsers before they can be used. This helps parents understand that different settings apply to other browsers when it comes to blocking inappropriate websites and filtering search results for their children.

The blocking behavior continues to work, however, when a browser updates to a new version, the latest version of the browser cannot be blocked until we add it to the block list. Microsoft is currently adding the latest versions of Chrome and other browsers to the block list. As a result, some browsers may temporarily appear unblocked during this update process. We're actively working to ensure all latest versions of browsers are blocked, reinforcing our commitment to parents and guardians.

As Microsoft continues to update the block list, we’ve received reports of a new issue affecting Google Chrome and some browsers. When children try to open these browsers, they shut down unexpectedly. However, the standard workflow is to prompt a parental approval message stating, “You’ll need to ask to use this app”. Once the approval is consented, the browser operates as intended. This issue is only observed when the Activity reporting feature is turned off.

Workaround: The browser shutdown issue can be temporarily mitigated by turning on Activity reporting under Windows settings in Family Safety. Parents will then be able to receive approval requests as expected.

Next steps: We are actively working on a resolution for the two key issues: the missing parental consent prompts and the unintended temporary unblocking of the latest versions of Google Chrome and other browsers after a browser update with a version change. This documentation will be updated when more information is available.

Affected platforms:

  • Client: Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2
  • Server: None
