    Software/Apps installed as a local user only appear in the admin account


    I've recently started using Windows 11 & mostly use a local account. It seems that sometimes when I install software to use on the the local account, it installs to the Admin account only. Or at least the start menu & desktop shortcuts only appear on that account.I don't recall this happening on Windows 10 I rarely used the Admin account- is there a setting which needs to be changed in order to ensure that programs are applied to account where I want to use them?Thanks

    :)
