About this tag
Discussions about disabling software on Windows often focus on per-user configurations, such as preventing a program from running on one account while allowing it on another. In Windows 10, users with administrative privileges may seek methods to disable software like Norton antivirus for specific accounts without affecting others. Common approaches involve using Group Policy, task scheduler, or registry edits to restrict application execution on a per-user basis. The tag covers troubleshooting scenarios where selective software disabling is needed, particularly in multi-user environments.

    Windows 10 Disable software on one users account only

    I have a piece of software (Norton antivirus) that I want one of the accounts to use but not the other: How can I disable the software on one account but not the other? (both accounts are admin and I'm on windows 10) Thanks
