    how do I allow access to a given app for a (non-admin user account)


    What I would like to do is allow a user account (other than the administrative account) to access a given app/program, (say the Minecraft launcher for exmpl), without having to re-download the app in that user account, I just want the other account to be able to launch and use the same .exe/program file that the admin account can. I am aware that documents/save files might not appear the same in both accounts, that is not what I'm asking.



    don't tell me to google it because I've tried at length and for the life of me I cant find jack shit, maybe to do with how I'm tending to word the search terms I don't know but I haven't been able to find jack.

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    App not available under a non-admin user

    I created a non-admin account on my Windows 10 laptop with Microsoft Office but PowerPoint is not present. It's available and working fine under the admin account. In the non-admin account, when I go to Windows 10 Settings/Apps/Apps & features, PowerPoint isn't even listed, so there is no "repair" button to click. I clicked repair under my admin account, and it still isn't available in the non-admin account. How do I make it available for my non-admin user account?

    how do I allow access to a given app for a (non-admin user account)

    RDP to non-admin account not working


    I can RDP to an account that is an admin account but not to a non-admin account.
    I have read to check the users and make sure the appropriate accounts have been added to the user list but the option to view or edit the user list is missing from my settings window:

    how do I allow access to a given app for a (non-admin user account) [​IMG]

    is there something I can check/change in the reg editor or in group policies or something to make this appear or perhaps just to enable it directly for that account?
    For reference this appears the same if I'm logged in as admin or as non-admin. (have to give admin privileges anyway to see this window in the first place)
    Thanks to anyone who can help
