How to fix when Child request for more screen time no longer works in Microsoft Family

During the last year, Microsoft released so many security updates, that often Windows 10 or Windows 11 Update may disrupt or break Screen Time Control feature in Microsoft Family. So then some kind of glitches may occur, for example – it shows only 9 minutes of activity on Computer or the approval link for More screen time via email message will no longer work, etc. Here we show an example of a digital strategy you may use to back up yourself to avoid stress for both You and your Children. 

Here is an example when you may see only 4 minutes of gameplay were counted despite the additional 15 minutes being approved after 2 hours of screen time.

Como ativar a criptografia de ponta a ponta (E2EE)

Hoje, o KidLogger é a primeira solução no mundo que oferece criptografia de ponta a ponta (E2EE). Todos os dados capturados dos computadores da criança serão criptografados e descriptografados apenas para o proprietário da conta. Os dados de atividade da criança capturados de dispositivos de ponto final serão criptografados antes da transferência para nosso serviço de nuvem. A principal diferença em relação à criptografia SSL é que os dados ainda permanecem criptografados quando chegam ao armazenamento em nuvem do KidLogger e, mais ainda, são mantidos criptografados em todos os tipos de instâncias do banco de dados em execução, contextos de execução e algoritmos de processamento dentro de nossos servidores em nuvem. Quando você faz login na sua conta, os dados são entregues ao navegador da web na forma criptografada inicial e são descriptografados no momento diretamente na página do navegador da Web usando o programa Java-Script e os recursos de criptografia do navegador. Aqui, explicamos como atualizar ou instalar o novo software do agente KidLogger e configurar o recurso de criptografia E2EE.

KidLogger Kid Safety agent for Android

We are glad to announce a new version of parental control application for Android that will work for both KidLogger and StaffCounter services. Due to the latest challenges in cyber-security landscape, user monitoring applications needs to be adapted to conform both regulatory compliance such as GDPR and vendor based Reputation, such as Microsoft PUA or Google Play Protect. 

The new application will not be hidden, but has the same features as hidden PRO version. The idea is to keep transparency and informs the phone user about the actions that are being monitored. In the taskbar, you can see the icon of the Application, that opens the info window with the actual supervision configuration from parents or company. We also are going to integrate mobile push notifications to keep track application activity from online service.

KidLogger update for Windows 10, PUA defender

For the last year, cyber-criminals succeeded in a few significant cyberattacks by using weaknesses in Windows operating system, and so-called “supply chain” attack approaches.

As a response, since September 2021, for the latest Windows 10 version (20H2), Microsoft turned ON by default protection against potentially unwanted apps (PUA) by blocking them when downloading files. Windows defender flagged KidLogger Setup as PUA due to functionality like screenshots, screen reading and key logging. At the same time, Symantec Endpoint protection also labeled SafeJKA code signature as “WS. Reputation” flag. We have modified product setup and submitted an application of False-Positive detection to both organizations.  To change the KidLogger reputation level in Windows Defender cloud-based Threat intelligence, we also have released an extra update. 

For now, we assure you, it is absolutely safe to install KidLogger Setup file. If you encounter difficulties downloading setup file – use  “Allow on this Device” option in Windows Threat protection dialog. 

Smart screenshot, experimental feature for Windows

We added a new experimental feature for Windows. Many customers ask us to make screenshots more often than once a minute. Now it is possible.

You need to have Standard or Professional subscription. Log into your personal account and open the Settings page. If you have more than one device, choose the desired one in the list.

Support for end-2-end encryption (E2EE) soon

KidLogger team would like to announce the end-to-end encryption (E2EE) soon will become available for all KidLogger users. With “end-to-end encryption” feature enabled, the data will be encrypted and anonymized by KidLogger Agent apps before upload to the kidlogger.net server and then decrypted in your web browser right in a moment when you are looking at the activity reports from your children's computer or smartphone. This provides the highest privacy level since data delivered to the cloud storage in encrypted form. This will enable the strongest compliance with GDPR regulation, since all the data will be encrypted, processed and stored in encrypted and anonymized form by default. Since this feature will be enabled on an account, KidLogger will store only encrypted data blobs for each children device. Thus, information that belongs to you will not be processed by KidLogger or our data platform provider in open form.
