I have recently bought the old TES Oblivion game on GOG, and the installation plus modding itself went great. On the same PC (Windows 10), I'd like to allow some of my family to also run the game in their own accounts, but do not know how to enable this (I am more of a LINUX user, and not experienced in Windows 10).

The installation itself is accessible, and I have copied the relevant "MyGames" and "AppData" sections, but opnly the Launcher works - playing via Launcher or OBSE (not from GOG Galaxy, but using the "obse_loader.exe") gives a blank screen and a crash. I do not even know what the problem exactly is, as I can' find a related error messages.

Can somebody point out some help (tutorial, webpages, ...) related to making some games (specifically TES IV Oblivion) for other accounts on the same Windows 10 PC, please?

Could be a few things, its the modding part really, not only do you have the application and its reg entries/paths, but the mods also have ini's, settings etc. Is it all installed and modded using an Admin account, I assume so if you other accounts can see it. Maybe list the mods out and see what have setup files (should all be in the Oblivion area).
I would suggest to start with a base installation, try that on all accounts see if it works - no point trying to debug a modded setup. Then go through and add one mod at a time.
One other thing, modding can be very unstable, depending on combinations, even with a great stability tested base like brevelix mods list on nexus there will still be crashes to desktop etc.
