Once in a while I come across an issue where software is only available on the account it was installed on.
Is there a way to install software for all users on windows 10 both for admin and standard users?

I am Dave, I will help you with this.
It depends on how the software developer coded the installer.
For 3rd party software that is installed from an Installer, the developer can provide an option to install for you, or for everyone. Sometimes the developer does not provide that option and that cannot be changed.
For Microsoft Store games and apps, if they are free, usually all users will have access to them, if they are paid for, then the user who purchased them owns the licence and they would not be available to other users.
