Locking down an Xbox One

[ChrisH]

Okay so I have never been much of a console user but I'm trying to lock down an Xbox One as much as possible I have done the best I can as most settings are stopped with a pass code and I have the age settings done but I am finding it annoying that they can still do things like remove your account from the Xbox! Also is there any way to remove the store off the home page? Can't say I'm particularly impressed with the parental settings as they still allow you to change every other setting like resolution and networks etc. Edited November 16, 2014 by ChrisH

This isn't very helpful, but more just curiosity on my part - would you really stop your kids from changing a console's resolution? or is it for a school?

I gave that as an example of a system setting but my statement could have applied to the wireless settings etc and I'm talking about a pre-school child who wouldn't be able to read a lot of it so could be pressing stuff randomly.

your passcode will stop any age restricted material and can limit hours of use. You can also customise the homepage / app screen on the xbox however that's pretty much it. Not really meant for preschool children.

It's being used more for as an all in one for DVD, now TV Netflix etc than gaming. Could you point me at the path for home screen customisation or is it just a case of its done with age restriction and unpinning the items it will allow?

Haven't got one myself, but I've dabbled. In settings look for an Xbox Home (Or section where you can change the background).

 

If not, could it be that you need to pin other apps and stuff to the XboxHome for it to override the defaults?
