    Password protection of applications


    I am looking for a way to password protect certain apps on my PC running win 10. What i mean is that i want to put a password when trying to open the application. Is there any such function built-in win10 or do i need a third party software for this?
    If the latter, can you recommend any such software ?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you referring to BIOS password as Boot password?
    • Is it a login password which you are referring when Windows starts?
    If Login password, provided you are using Local Account on Windows 10 you may follow the below steps:
    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run command
    • Type " control userpasswords2 "
    • Select the account and uncheck "user must login with password"
    • Select apply and Ok.
    If Boot password you may have to contact your computer manufacturer.

    Keep us posted to help you better.

    Password protection of applications


    Thanks for the tip Barman58,

    I am the only user of the PC but would like to keep friends & family out of some applications when i have visit.
    Actually, i don`t use UAC and would prefer to have a dedicated application to handle the password protection. Do you know if there is any good software for this purpose?
