InPrivate and Family Groups for Edge
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".
But the problem remains that on one computer, InPrivate mode is disabled for the kids as it should be, while on the other computer the same kids are able to use InPrivate mode even though the Edge menu states "Managed by your Family Group".
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.

stevexyz Sorry for the extremely late response, are you still experiencing issues with Inprivate? We've made a couple of updates since then so just wanted to double check. Thanks!

ShirleyNg Hi. I have same issue with a new laptop I bought my child. I specially chose Microsoft instead of apple for this child as I had better experiences with Microsoft on another Childs computer using Edge on Windows 10 but not being able to limit inprivate window on this new childs computer is really a disappointment! Hope Microsoft solves this asap. Thanks
