Windows 10: Give access to specific apps for Local User

I'm the admin on my PC, but have my kids' accounts as Local accounts on the same machine:





When my kids log in, I'd like them to be able to launch and access only specific apps that I have installed and working for my account (e.g., IrfanView, Minecraft, Affinity Designer, MS Store, etc.). When they're logged in, these apps show in their start menu, but clicking them does nothing.

Without making them admins, how can I grant access to only specific apps?

How to grant local admin access to a specific app in Windows 10?

There is an application that is programmed to ask for local admin password as soon a user tries to launch it.

There is only 3-4 users out of 1500+ users who need access to this application and as per the current protocols, these users in question are not meant to have local admin access. However, their job needs them to use this poorly coded application that needs
local admin access.

So, I'm trying to find a solution on how to permanently grant admin access to just 1 specific application.

I have found a lot of online resources that show how an app can be run as an admin but that will only work till the time admin password does not change. I'm trying to find a better solution, if possible.

Any help/advise is greatly appreciated

Thanks
