So you have finished enabling child mode in the browser.

Until you manually exit Kids Mode, the Edge browser will always open in child mode whenever you open it. When kid mode is active, some shortcuts will be disabled to make sure kids can't accidentally exit Kids Mode.

To exit child mode, click the profile icon and select 'Exit Kids Mode Windows' . After you authenticate, child mode is turned off.
