I have gone through parental control API documentation on MSDN here, posted a general question about using parental controls APIs on Windows 10 here on Stack Overflow. But have not received a satisfactory answer, and haven't been able to locate any helpful samples in the documentation. Right now, I have managed to go as far as this tutorial here.

I decided to narrow down the question to this,

Is there a way to block access to specific websites using these APIs on Windows 10?

  • I am using WMI code creator tool, to try out parental control APIs and have attached a screenshot of two popup messages which come up when I try to "remove users" to try a remove a previously added useraccount by its SID through the WpcSystemSettings class. I have attached a link to the screenshot here, which suggests that you HAVE to go the "family safety website" to make this change. Why does this happen? https://www.dropbox.com/s/qj7cu8wlywfar2o/parentalcontrol-cannot-be-changed.png?dl=0 – Zaphod Nov 30 '15 at 06:06

It looks like whitelist and blacklist can be configured via WMI.

Check the WpcURLOverride object and its URL and Allowed properties.

  • Thank you, I had checked this section, but I haven't really understood how exactly I can use this information, can you perhaps link me to a code sample I can refer to? – Zaphod Nov 17 '15 at 05:59
