===Family Safety===
Windows 8 integrates [[Windows Live Family Safety]] into the operating system, allowing parents to restrict user activity via web filtering, application restriction, and computer usage time limits.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/05/14/keeping-your-family-safer-with-windows-8.aspx | title=Keeping your family safer with Windows 8 | publisher=Microsoft | work=Building Windows 8 | date=May 14, 2012 | access-date=May 16, 2013 | first1=Phil | last1=Sohn | editor-first=Steven | editor-last=Sinofsky | archive-date=May 21, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521140319/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/05/14/keeping-your-family-safer-with-windows-8.aspx | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.engadget.com/2012/05/14/windows-8-family-safety-feature-chaperones-underage-users-thro/#disqus_thread | title=Windows 8 'Family Safety' feature chaperones underage users through the World Wild Web | publisher=[[Engadget]] | work=[[Aol]] | date=May 14, 2012 | access-date=May 16, 2013 | first1=Joseph | last1=Volpe | archive-date=June 6, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606193005/http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/14/windows-8-family-safety-feature-chaperones-underage-users-thro/#disqus_thread | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/255582/microsoft_win8_simplifies_improves_parental_monitoring_of_kids_computer_activities.html | title=Microsoft: Win8 Simplifies, Improves Parental Monitoring of Kids Computer Activities | PCWorld Business Center | publisher=[[PC World]] | work=[[International Data Group|IDG]] | date=May 14, 2012 | access-date=May 22, 2013 | first1=Juan Carlos | last1=Perez | archive-date=May 25, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130525092553/http://www.pcworld.com/article/255582/microsoft_win8_simplifies_improves_parental_monitoring_of_kids_computer_activities.html | url-status=live }}</ref> [[Parental controls]] functionality, introduced in [[Windows Vista]], was previously partially removed in [[Windows 7]] and made a part of Windows Live Family Safety instead.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630560(VS.85).aspx |title=Windows 7 Parental Controls Changes Overview |publisher=Msdn.microsoft.com |access-date=July 9, 2013 |archive-date=April 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210401084021/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/parcon/what-s-new-in-windows-7-parental-controls?redirectedfrom=MSDN |url-status=live }}</ref> A notable change in Family Safety is that administrators can now specify time periods for computer usage. For example, an administrator can restrict a user account so that it can only remained signed in for a total time period of one hour. In previous versions of Windows, administrators could only restrict accounts based on the time of day.<ref name="FamilySafety">{{cite web |url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj155495%28v=vs.85%29.aspx |title=What's New in Windows 8 Family Safety |publisher=Microsoft |work=Windows Dev Center |access-date=February 22, 2015 |archive-date=January 18, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150118095220/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj155495(v=vs.85).aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>
===Protected processes===
Protected processes introduced in Windows Vista have been extended in Windows 8.1 to support a new ''Protected Process Light'' scheme. In Windows Vista, processes were either protected or unprotected. With the new scheme in Windows 8.1, processes can be assigned varying levels of protection, and core operating system components such as the [[Local Security Authority Subsystem Service]] can be protected by this scheme to prevent reading memory and code injection by non-protected processes.<ref name="LSA">{{cite web |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection |title=Configuring Additional LSA Protection |date=September 30, 2022 |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |access-date=March 14, 2023}}</ref>
