Can apps be shared across different user accounts on the same pc? In particular, if I am a parent and download a paid app for a child - is it possible for them to share that with the child that uses a different user account to log in? It was possible
in the Windows 8, but looks like it is not working for the Windows 10.

Here is the answer. Its quite simple and the same concept as the app store for apple.
Create the new child account on the PC (you may have already done this)
Sign in that account
Go to the windows store and click on the small circle icon that represents that account (either the picture of your choice or the outline of a person).
Click on the account NAME (*** Email address is removed for privacy *** etc) and sign out.
If it asks, enter the pin for the NEW CHILDS ACCOUNT and NOT the pin for your account (This had me confused for a little while)
Sign into the store with your credentials and not the childs credentials.
Download Minecraft.......Enjoy.
I did this tonight with my son and it worked perfectly.
