It should, and for many, it does.

An ordinary install, not "for all users", defaults to your own
AppData\Local\Programs\Python  - the pattern you see in your 
Administrator install. So you don't seem to have installed that one for 
all users.

I don't think you want to do a user-install using the administrator 
account. If you tell it to add to PATH, I believe it adds to the user 
variables in this case, so other accounts won't see that.  The Python 
launcher should help with this part of the problem, as Terry said, but 
only if other users are able to work with things installed in admin's 
account-local locations.

An install for all users will drop it into someplace different - by 
default at the top of the drive, so e.g. C:\Python39.
