These options range from uBlock Origin to HT Parental Controls. If you&#8217;re looking for a simple way to block YouTube, read this article. We&#8217;ll also discuss Microsoft Family and Work Focus. All of these options will prevent your children from watching certain videos on YouTube. After you&#8217;ve installed one of these programs, your child should no longer be able to view YouTube on their PC.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HT_Parental_Controls\"><\/span>HT Parental Controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to block YouTube on Windows 10, you should install HT Parental Controls. The application&#8217;s real-time internet filter will block dangerous and inappropriate content as your child surfs the internet. It also offers many superior features such as blocking websites, limiting the amount of time your child can use the computer, and monitoring their online activity. This software is easy to install and provides many benefits.<\/p>\n<p>HT Parental Controls is a free program that is compatible with Windows 10, giving you total control over your children&#8217;s internet usage. It includes a powerful internet filter that will filter out all websites except those you approve. HT Parental Controls will monitor every web page that your child visits, recording how long they spend on each. It also supports all the popular web browsers and captures screenshots every few minutes to give you a clear picture of their internet activities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"uBlock_Origin\"><\/span>uBlock Origin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using uBlock Origin to block YouTube on your Windows 10 PC, you might notice that ads are still showing up in the video player. There&#8217;s a simple way to fix this problem. If you&#8217;re running Chrome, close the browser and reopen it, and you should see all of the ads you were previously blocking. Otherwise, you may need to install a new ad blocker.<\/p>\n<p>To install Ublock Origin, simply open your Chrome browser and click on Menu &gt; More Tools &gt; Extensions. In the popup that appears at the bottom of your screen, select Developer Mode. To remove the extension, click on the &#8220;Remove&#8221; option at the bottom of the window. In the context menu, select Ublock Origin. You can also disable its functionality on some websites. YouTube is an example of a website that is blocked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microsoft_Family\"><\/span>Microsoft Family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to block a website on Windows 10, you have two options: either install a program that blocks YouTube, or set up a network firewall. This latter option is recommended because it will block any website that requests your IP address. However, blocking an entire website may not be practical for your situation. If you&#8217;re unable to block YouTube, you&#8217;ll need to make some adjustments in the browser&#8217;s settings.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must check the &#8220;Family Safety&#8221; settings of your Windows 10 computer. This will allow you to block all websites or certain websites. To do this, go to the &#8220;Family Safety&#8221; setting in Windows 10 and enable the option &#8220;Only allow these websites.&#8221; Now, enter the website you want to block one by one and click the button. The changes will be applied to all devices logged into your Microsoft account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HT_Work_Focus\"><\/span>HT Work Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using HT Parental Controls to block YouTube on Windows 10, you&#8217;re already aware of its time-wasting properties. YouTube can take up a large chunk of a person&#8217;s day. HT Parental Controls allows you to block tens of thousands of sites from being accessed. It&#8217;s also capable of blocking adult websites. To install HT Parental Controls, click the Windows icon on the desktop. On the Family and other people tab, click Add a family member. If your child uses a Microsoft account, you can add them to your family settings by clicking on their account name. You can also add a child&#8217;s account from the App, Games, Media menu.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running Windows 10, you can also install OpenDNS to block YouTube. After installing OpenDNS, you&#8217;ll receive an email confirming your registration. Once you&#8217;ve signed up, click the grey &#8220;ADD THIS NETWORK&#8221; button located on the right of your current network&#8217;s IP address. Then, go to the Network Settings page and click &#8220;Block all websites.&#8221; Now, the same method applies to Windows 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Block YouTube on Windows 10 There are several options when it comes to blocking YouTube.
