  1. How do I prevent other users from accessing my applications or programs in Windows 10 Home?


    There are two users. My one is an admin user, and the other one is a standard user.

    I don't want other users to access and see some of my installed applications or programs.

    What can I do for that?

    :)

  2. Preventing access to modern app

    Ive been tasked with preventing the children from accessing instagram. I've got it listed in my windows hosts file and internet options/security/restricted site but the windows 10 app is still allowing access. Any suggestions other then deleting app which can just be reinstalled?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    How do I prevent other users from accessing my applications or programs in Windows 10 Home?

    Say goodbye to ransomware with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    Then what needs to be implemented is some way to notify the user that raw disk access is being attempted using a notification similar to that of the UAC prompt and suggest that the user prevent the action unless they are sure that the application doing such activity is trusted.

    Obviously the default answer would be a big fat NO!
