If your Windows 8 or 8.1 is shared by different users then there are some settings which you should configure to avoid contradiction. Most of users know that they can easily uninstall the apps from Start Screen, for doing so, they have right click on the app which they like to remove and simply a click Uninstall option. Thus if your system is shared by your family, it might happen that you install an app which you like, and some other member who used the system in your absence uninstalled it; obviously from Start Screen. Then how to avoid this scenario?
Well, if by any how; you remove the Uninstall option for the right click over apps from the Start Screen, others won’t be able to remove your installed apps. In this article, I’ll show you the way to do so. The necessary condition to follow this trick is that you must be the administrator of your system. If you fulfill this condition, follow these steps:

Additionally in Windows 8.1, if you navigate to apps management section in PC Settings (PC Settings -> Search and apps -> Apps sizes), you’ll have the message at the top saying Some settings are managed by your system administrator.

That’s it!
