Windows 10: Installing apps on one account, not all of them

Hello,


Installing certain software such as Roblox on my Windows 10 computer adds it to all the users. I only want it on one user.


But, Roblox is available on the Windows Store, so if I install it from there, will it only be for one user?


The user I am using is a local account. The other user is a Microsoft account.


Thanks.

:)

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
