We might be using a lot of apps on our smartphones, but we tend to use our work apps and software on our PCs. Windows has always had several essential apps that we can’t live without and with the advent of Windows 10 and its Universal apps platform
You can use the My Lockbox software to lock apps on Windows 10. So, firstly, you will have to download and install the software on your PC.
When you first open My Lockbox, the software will ask you to set up a password that will be used to lock the apps on your PC. You can also add a password hint and an email id, that will help you recover passwords in case you forget.
Then, you can choose the folder to protect and click “Ok.” Here, you can select the folder where the app or software you want to lock is installed. The Windows software is generally installed in C:/Program Files or Program Files (x86), so you can just head over and locate the software you want to lock. You can even select the Program Files folder to secure all the apps inside it.
The folder and the software will then be locked. So, when you try and access the app from anywhere on Windows, you will get a message saying you don’t have appropriate permissions.
To unlock an app, you can head over to My Lockbox control panel and hit the “Unlock button.” You will need to enter the password to open the My Lockbox app, so not everyone will be able to access it. Moreover, the software requires the password even when you are trying to uninstall it, which is pretty handy.

Use Windows 10 Parental Controls
If you are looking to lock apps (or websites) for one of your family member’s user account, you can use Windows 10’s parental control feature to do that. However, there’s a catch, as you cannot lock specific apps on the account until the user has been using them already. Basically, if you have a child user account and you keep track of your children’s activities, you can see the apps & games they use and then, block the apps you don’t want them to use. If you are okay with that, check out our post on how to set up and configure Windows 10 parental controls for all the details
