System administrator and You Tube restricted mode

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Are you using a local account or Microsoft account?
   
2. How many user accounts are there on the computer?
   
3. Do you have another administrator account on your computer?
   

I suggest you to refer the following link to https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/174084 for YouTube.

If you are having another administrator account on your PC, you can login to the administrator account and provide administrator access to the user account. Follow the steps mentioned below.

Steps:-

1. Tap on Windows + R on the keyboard.
   
2. Type netplwiz in the run box.
   
3. Under the Users tab, click on the
   user account and click on properties.
   
4. Under Group Membership, select Administrator from the list.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.

Administrator

Hi,

We'd like to know what is the version of the operating system you're using. We also suggest checking if you are the administrator of the user profile you were using. If your account is not showing as the administrator, you may change it to check if it will
resolve the issue. Please follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Control panel and click on the topmost search result.
  
• 
  Select User Accounts or Change account type from the window and click on your user account name.
  
• 
  Select Administrator and click on Change account type.
  
• 
  Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
  

Tell us what would be the outcome.
