📎 AI Summary:
The thread primarily discusses how application installations are tied to individual user accounts in Windows, with one user asking how to make shortcuts visible across multiple accounts. BIGBEARJEDI explains that most programs need to be installed per user unless installed for all users, and introduces User Account Control (UAC) prompts for standard accounts. Later, another user inquires about Windows 10 Anniversary Update, and Neemobeer responds that it can be obtained via Windows Updates, providing the build number 14393 as a reference. Overall, the conversation offers technical guidance on user account applications and update procedures.

Hello everybody!

I have more local accounts on my PC and I want to know, how I can change that when I install an application and an shortcut on desktop, I don't see it on the other account?

Thanks for every Help!

Hi and welcome to the forum :up:

Application programs for the most part (other than the Windows built-in apps such as Calendar, Clock, and Calculator) must be installed upon each User Account in order to use them. This is also true for Microsoft Account Login in W10 just like your Local Accounts. If you setup any of your Local Accounts as Standard or Limited Accounts, you can still install programs on these types of User accounts, but you will get a popup box on your display from UAC (User Account Control) asking you to enter your Local Login Admin account password in order to do so.

Hope that helps!:)

The anniversary update would come through Windows Updates, you can see what build you're on by pressing [win key + r] and type winver Build 14393 is the AU build.
