I agree.
One possible scenario which I would at least try is to make his account standard, then apply time restrictions as I told in my earlier post, and finally make the game shortcuts to him elevated as lx07 told you earlier.
It should work.

It may be possible to set the user as a standard user and then create automatic Admin shortcuts to run the game, whilst not allowing access to admin features ...
Create Elevated Shortcut without UAC prompt in Windows 10 Customization Tutorials
You may have issues with some games as the developers just create a link to other admin only programs ( or just ignore the development Rules/Guidlines that Microsoft provide and store user files in a protected system area and not in the User folders ), but is worth a try
Hi all,
I am new here and I have a small Windows 10 experience, but I am keep improving my skills
I have encountered some problem last time.
I have tried to change restricitions for local user account and I use Kari's helpful post... but unexectedly I encountered some problems and I don't understand what's going on...
When I use a command: NET USER glu /times:Sa,09-18 it works fine.
But if only I change anything it stop working, for example, change to any another day:
NET USER glu /times:M,09-18 doesn't work.
I got an error (translated to eng.): An unacceptable range of days has been provided.
When I am trying below syntax to set restricions for more than one day as in Kari's example, I am getting an error as below:
---------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\system32> net user glu /time:M-T,9-17;W-Th,11-15;F-Sa,8-14;Su,16-22
At line:1 char:38

Please help me some advice, I don't understand what is wrong

First, using the exact command shown in my post you quoted to set up time restrictions on various days in English Windows, the same command you tell is not working for you, I can only say it works without issues:
The key here might be the language. Something you said hints that your Windows might be in Polish:
Have you tried with Polish names for days?

Hi there
I agree with the person who said : "Just tell the kid to logoff" especially if kid is 5 - 7 years old.
Why go to all the hassle of trying to use software to prevent logon -- surely part of responsible parenting is to teach kids - especially young ones what they are allowed and not allowed to do.
Personally though I would not allow a kid to use any of my computers if I use them for serious work -- just give him / her one for themselves (you can get decent machines really cheap these days) and just take it away at the appropriate times.
Cheers

Kari, you are awesome !
Thank you very much. As I wrote my windows experience is small.
So, I've never would suspected that MS will translate system's commands...
You have absolutely right. When I changed day's abbreviation to Polish it worked:
net user glu /time:PN-pt,15-17 (monday - friday)
But... strange think is that for Saturday with English abbreviation 'Sa' it works too :) in Polish this abbrev. should be 'So', really strange.
Anyway, thank you so much.
Best wishes,
Piotr
