My son plays far too much fortnite. Is there a program for Windows 7 where you can limit the time only for Fornite?
Set up a user account for your son, then install on his account, if not already installed again Fortnite. Then open the menu, and go to Settings, or search in the search function for "protection of minors". First, switch back on the parental control function.
In the window for the protection of minors then click on "Allow or block certain programs".
Activate the option "User may only use the approved programs".
Windows then lists all installed applications. Check by ticking which program the user is allowed to execute; all unchecked programs are automatically blocked. The Browse button also lets you add programs that are not in the list.
Close the dialog box with "Ok" to save the settings.

It is his own PC. Does he have to install Fortnite again?
Hmm… If he has not set up a password, then add a password that only you know. He will not like that if you use a password to contaminate his own PC, but you can finally stop him from doing so.
So make from his W7 account an admin account, which can be registered without a password, but one for the parental controls is active.
I can have a say myself because I'm even in that age, and I have to say that one should accept this hobby and eventually approach it, only when it (as I know a few cases) reaches into the pocket and eats the hundreds one should worry and intervene.
