Windows 10: Sharing Apps between accounts on the same computer

Longtime Windows users but first time owner. I purchased a laptop as a family computer and created an admin account for myself and added my kids. I first installed CHROME free 3rd party and then went to the app store and downloaded MINECRAFT paid for in app store.


CHROME, after installing once is on all user accounts for the computer but minecraft is only on my admin account. I am having extreme difficulty figuring this out but seemingly the app store doesnt allow sharing of apps between accounts regardless of it being on the same computer and if I want my kids to have minecraft, I need to purchase them each a copy? let alone having purchased this for my admin account that i wont use.


TWO QUESTIONS:

1 - can i purchase minecraft directly from minecraft 3rd party and not the microsoft store to avoid this issue?

2 - is this a real issue i am having or is there a simple fix to give my kids permission to access the purchased copy of minecraft? the license says it allows 10 instals on different devices


I am at a loss how to manage this. I want to buy lots of apps for my kids but.... I need to buy multiple copies of the same thing so each kids has access to them on the same computer? There is not chat for windows support and the phone number I called told me there was an extreme waittime and then hung up on me.

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

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:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del
