Windows 10: Is there any way to create a user account which only has access to stuff inside of its user...

Basically, i want it so that anyone who is using that account can only see files that are inside its user folder, so anything outside of it would be inaccessible to them, is that possible? And if so, how do i set it up that way?

User accounts

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

• How have you upgraded to Windows 10?
• Are you able to find the other users in accounts option?

To test the issue I suggest you to create a new user account and restart the computer and check whether you can find other new user account.

I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
• Select add someone else on this PC.
• Enter a user name and hit next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
