Screen time should shut down the Xbox…

But it will continue playing .third party apps like Netflix. It is silly that I have to go to each individual app to set limits. The. I need an another app to manage his PC. Really Microsoft!!
TTThis name is taken too?

Working well now

Finally working well. Adding from Notifications works well. Glad you sorted after removing from the family app as was very frustrating to manage Xbox compared to other consoles.

Useless

Used to be ok - ability to add funds doesn’t work. Pointless app now - does nothing.

Have to sign in via the authenticator app only to be told when returning that its timed out
