Is there a way to limit access to only specific applications?

Is there a way to limit access to on specific applications? Im trying to setup a user account that only has access to games. Is there a way to do this?

Can you change the access permissions on everything other than the games? Only thing I can think of without the need for addition programs (if there is something that can do that sort of thing)

I would think of 2 ways:

a ) secure your files with nfts permissions and set that new account as guest or at least not part of administrators group.

b ) using GPO (Group Policy Object) and use software restriction policies with hash rule.

 

But I would recommand (if possible) you separate your gaming pc from your work machine. Especially if you have kids and you don't want them to touch your work laptop i.e

So even if they mess around, it's just for gaming or entertainment anyway.
