    So upgrading to Win 10 has been fine so far, but the loss of the parental controls is a major pain.
    I have used it for the past few years to ensure my kids cant spend too many hours on the PC and that they cant log in after a certain hour of the night.
    That facility is gone now and the new alternative is just sh1te to say the least.

    Does anyone know of any way to restrict the hours a user can log on in win 10 or any programs sorry 'apps' I can download that might do this?

    Set up a Microsoft child account maybe? It would filter out only so much though I would say...

    Surely Windows Family Safety still does this under Windows 10?

    The microsoft method is a non-runner, mainly because you need to set up an outlook account for the child, that's why I'm looking for alternatives.

    Kaspersky Total Security 2016 is fully Win10 compatible and has a decent Parental Control system (aswell as the other security benefits).
