There are multiple ways to distribute a program through SCCM , but I prefer using the advertisement as it can be straight away!
Choose the options above and Choose the Package, Program and Collection you would like to deploy to
Choose Next , where you can put the start time this will which the advertised app will appear in peoples control panel
To force this to run for all users you will need to add a Mandatory Assignments Task where you can also set a schedule or immediate start time

Sit back and wait!
