Set Usage Time Limits On Windows 10 for a Particular User
STEP 1
- To start up the time control process. you will have to open up the Command Prompt. This has to opened up in the Administrator mode. To do so, search for it in the Search bar provided at the bottom left of your desktop. Right click on Command Prompt and choose the option Run As Administrator.
STEP 2
- Once the window opens up, type the below given command and hit Enter.
net user username /times:M-F,11:00-20:00;Sa-Su,10:00-22:00
The meaning of the above command is that from Monday to friday , allowed login time is between 11:00 AM to 08:00 PM, And on Saturday and sunday login time is from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. You can alter your customized login intervals in the code.
This means, for the user account denoted by username, from Monday to Friday, the time is set from 11.00 AM to 8:00 PM. And, for Saturday and Sunday, the time is set from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I have used a 24-hour format as they are the default time settings in my system.You can change the time settings in the command according to your convenience.
Replace the username in the above command with the name of the user account which you want to set control upon.
STEP 3
Now suppose that you no longer need to set the time control. There must be a way to reset the changes you have made before. Lets us see how it is done.
- Open up the command prompt as mentioned above and type the below given command. Hit the enter button once you are done.
net user username /times:all
This will give access to system at all times.
That’s it. Now exercise your control to keep track of the time others access your system.Hope you found this article useful.
