I need a program/subscription service that lets me control windows 10 usage hours, preferably from another PC in another location I also need the service to be able to block websites in a family friendly manner and it needs to function in the administrator level account.

I know it's a lot to ask but does anybody know any service I can subscribe to or program I can purchase that can do these things?

Untangle might be an option for you if you have a spare PC around. You would only be able to control hours per user access to internet though. Or run it in a VM like I do. With home package you get very powerful web filter included. Basically its a firewall package that can run in bridge mode (meaning in line as in router> Untangle> Lan or after your own router then to Lan computers) or router mode.

Windows10 has a fair bit of parental control stuff built in, https://www.howtogeek.com/666985/how-to-use-parental-controls-in-windows-10/ in terms of management from another location, it does appear you can manage all this stuff online. Alternatively you could setup TeamViewer on the PC and login periodically and make changes using an admin account?

I initially dismissed your suggestion because I needed the time limits to be imposed on an account that actually has admin priviliges but a quick google search suggests I may be able to do this via command prompt in admin mode. I will try tomorrow
