Windows 10: Admin status

I had admin status on my this old computer using Office 2013 but did not have it on my new computer with Office 365 and now I no longer have it on this old computer either. How do I get it. Please just give me the path, not a link.


I just received a message on my new computer saying Create a new question or start a discussion answers. microsoft.com. Why are these computers linked and how can I unlink them.

OSK popping up when software Run As Admin

Hi,

We are sorry that the issue still persists.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists in the Built-in Administrator account
(hidden administrator account). To enable the account, follow the steps below:

• Right Click on Start and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
• Accept the UAC prompt if required.
• Type “net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).

Once you have enabled the account, you will see it listed in the user accounts control panel applet. Login to the account and check for status.

To disable the built-in Administrator account, follow the steps provided above and in step 3 type the command line provided below:

“net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Admin status

Hi Barb,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• Did you setup user account as an administrator?

I would suggest you to first check if you have the Administrator privileges on the computer.

Press Windows key + R

Type control userpasswords2 and press OK

Check what type of user account is create. Is it a local or administrator.

If the user account is already an admin account, run the following command to enable hidden admin account and then check the settings.

Press Windows key + X and click Command Prompt (Admin)

Type the following command and press Enter

net user administrator /active:yes

To disable it add "no" at the end of the command.

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
