Protection features — turn each one on or off

Your child's PC has three protections you can switch on or off any time: App Blocking, Web Blocking and Schedule Lock. There's no slider switch — you tap the row. Here's exactly how, and what turning each off means.

On the device dashboard · all three are on by default

The gesture

Tap the row to switch it

On the device dashboard, find the Protection features section. Each feature is a row you tap — not a slider. Tapping flips it between On and Off:

Protection features

✓App BlockingOn

✓Web BlockingOn

✕Schedule LockOff

Tap anywhere on a row to switch it — there is no slider.

A green ✓ On means the protection is active; a grey ✕ Off means it's paused. It changes instantly — no password and no confirmation pop-up. A brief spinner shows while it applies.

The 3 features

What turning each one Off does

App Blocking

Off → no game or app on your list is blocked any more — including scheduled app blocks.

Web Blocking

Off → no website is blocked at all — your entire web filter is paused.

Schedule Lock

Off → the PC no longer auto-locks or unlocks on your schedule or daily time limit.

Turning a feature Off stops that protection completely until you switch it back on. The app doesn't ask you to confirm — so check the row before you tap. Your settings are kept; the feature just pauses, and resumes the moment you turn it back On.
