Set lock screen timer on Windows PC?
Hi
I'm having issues getting my 10 year old to finish gaming after the agreed time. There are always several "I just need to's....& just 2 mins more" which drags on for 15 mins and is very frustrating.
How can I set a timer that will remain on top of the game so he sees it & which will lock the screen when time is up?
Any help greatly appreciated

sorted byI have installed but it only seems to allow to select a max of 23 mins then it returns to 0?
Is that normal?
I can’t just stop playing as I can’t “save” or it’s an online game, and I can get banned…….
An adult me would tell you.

It only took about a week before ours learnt time to turn it off was time to turn it off
As my dad said my house my rules.
All of our nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great niece have been told the rules.
Be polite, say please & thank you etc.
Come in from school and do homework.
Food at 17.00pm.
Bath time at 18.00pm.
Depending on age, bed time at 19.00pm with one hour for tv, iPad games etc.
20.00pm all turned off go to the loo.
Kisses and cuddles, wife puts them in bed, lays next to them and off to sleep they go.
60 minutes later I go and wake the wife.
Worked on all 7 kids.
