    TheShaunSaw Thanks for pointing it out. However my goal is to disable InPrivate for my kids. Checking on family.microsoft.com I see both of them have Activity Tracking enabled with the note below stating "InPrivate browsing is disabled".

      Hi there! On the computer that InPrivate is not disabled, is the activity reporting feature working? Also just to confirm, your child's account is signed into the device itself (ie. through Windows)? 

       

      I'm sorry family safety is not working as expected but I appreciate you sending feedback! Thanks!

        ShirleyNg Thanks for responding! On the computer where InPrivate is not disabled, I confirmed that the activity reporting feature is working (I see usage showing up at family.microsoft.com). And yes, the child is signed in to the device (Windows login) through her Microsoft account.
