    Hi Michael

    If that app was downloaded from the Microsoft Store, then that App is tied to your Microsoft Account and you cannot share that with other users on your PC

    If that is a 3rd party application, then if you put a shortcut for that application into the Public Desktop folder, that will appear on all users Desktops . .

    The Public Desktop folder is located at C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop
