Screen time limits are essential for managing the amount of time users, particularly children, spend on their devices. While the term "Limites de Tempo de Tela" is more commonly associated with mobile devices and certain operating systems, Windows also offers robust tools for setting screen time limits. This article will guide you through setting up screen time limits on a Windows environment using built-in features and tools.

Examples:

Using Microsoft Family Safety

1. Create a Microsoft Family Group:

   • Go to the Microsoft Family Safety website.
   • Sign in with your Microsoft account.
   • Add family members to your group by inviting them via email.

2. Set Screen Time Limits:

   • Once family members are added, select the child account for which you want to set limits.
   • Navigate to the "Screen time" tab.
   • Here, you can set daily time limits for each device or app.

Using Local Group Policy Editor

For a more administrative approach, especially in enterprise environments, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to enforce screen time policies.

1. Open Local Group Policy Editor:

   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

2. Navigate to the Policy:

   • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon.
   • Find the policy named "Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions."

3. Configure the Policy:

   • Double-click the policy to open its settings.
   • Set it to "Enabled" and specify the time limit.

Using Command Prompt and PowerShell

For advanced users, Command Prompt and PowerShell can be used to script and automate the process of setting screen time limits.

1. Using Command Prompt:

   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Use the net user command to set logon hours for a user.

     net user username /times:M-F,8am-8pm;Sa-Su,10am-6pm

   • This command restricts the user username to log in only during the specified hours.

2. Using PowerShell:

   • Open PowerShell as an administrator.
   • Use the New-ScheduledTaskTrigger cmdlet to create a task that logs off the user after a certain period.

     $Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 8pm
     $Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'shutdown.exe' -Argument '/l'
     Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "LogOffUser" -Trigger $Trigger -Action $Action -User "username" -Password "password"

   • This script creates a scheduled task that logs off the user at 8 PM daily.
