    User Account Access For Specific Apps


    Every time I boot up my pc, UAC asks if steelseriesapp has permission to make changes to my computer and every time I press yes. Is there a way to always allow this app to make changes instead of getting this pop up after every boot. I know there is the option to turn of UAC notifications for everything but that isn't really an option.Thanks for any input

    :)

    Give access to specific apps for Local User

    @dalchina, thanks for the suggestion.

    I tried your blanket option, and that didn't work.

    I filtered per your suggestion:

    However, it seems there are no settings for that filter:

    Give access to specific apps for Local User

    I'm the admin on my PC, but have my kids' accounts as Local accounts on the same machine:

    When my kids log in, I'd like them to be able to launch and access only specific apps that I have installed and working for my account (e.g., IrfanView, Minecraft, Affinity Designer, MS Store, etc.). When they're logged in, these apps show in their start menu, but clicking them does nothing.

    Without making them admins, how can I grant access to only specific apps?

    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.
