Minecraft is not added into list of applications in Microsoft's Family Safety. (Each Windows application should be added there automatically when launched for the first time.) Due to this bug I can't set limits for the application to my son and he can play infinitely.

Indeed, it is a bug. It worked fine some time ago. You or Microsoft had changed something and now the Minecraft (game) application is not detected and added to the Family Safety.
Surely you can't support every parental controls but at least the Microsoft's you should if you are owned by them. 😉
This is not a high priority issue, if Mojang even classifies this as a bug.
Do not expect reports to get fixed immediately, especially lower-priority ones; some reports have taken years to get a fixed resolution.
I am not happy to hear it. For me, the priority is higher, as I have no control over my child now. It was easier to get my child away from computer, when the Family Safety worked as designed.
So you tell me that the issue will be maybe fixed when my child will be adult and will stop to play Minecraft... 😉
May I help somehow to process the issue faster? E.g. to provide more information?
Perhaps it will help: My son just played an older version and it worked fine - application "Minecraft 1.17.1" appeared in Family Safety and I was able to set limits for it. Obviously, the reported bug was introduced sometimes during 1.18 series of versions.
This sounds like a feature request to me. You can't expect the game to have support for every parental controls app - surely if it isn't detecting an installed app then that needs to be fixed on their end.
