  2. Cant access Microsoft apps as Standard user

    Received new PC from MICROSOFT and upgraded to Windows 11. Now i can not access Microsoft Apps from Standard user. I can from Loacl admin but not Standard user account. I have seen several posts but nothing seems to work and Microsoft (being a superp power) doesnt seem to care... Once I get hacked becausde I have to create a super user to access the calculator on my Windows 11 upgrade maybe i will hear back from the superpower.

    UAC & standard users with additional privileges

    I am marking this problem as solved. The problem was:

    Allow a standard user to enable/disable a network without having to enter a password every time.

    My solution for Windows 7 was:

    1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
    2. Login as the standard user.
    3. Create a shortcut to the network adapter.
    4. Right-click on the shortcut to see or change the state of the network adapter.

    I have received many useful and instructive suggestions on Tenforums. Based on those suggestions,
    here's my solution for Windows 10:

    1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
    2. Login as the standard user.
    3. In a cmd window, run this command
    netsh interface show interface
    to learn the name of the network adapter.
    4. Run Task Scheduler using the password of the standard user.
    5. Create two shortcuts in accordance with Option 2 in this tutorial:
    Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials
    -- at Step 3, name the shortcuts something like “EnableLAN” and “DisableLAN”
    -- at Step 7, in the Program/script field, type netsh
    -- at Step 8, into the Add arguments field, type
    interface set interface "name of network adapter" admin=enable
    (Make the last element “disable” for the second task.)
    -- at Step 14, name the shortcuts something like “Turn LAN On” and “Turn LAN Off”
    6. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type ncpa.cpl into Run, and click OK to open the Network Connections window. Keep this window open on your desktop to see the state of the network adapter. The color of the icon reflects the state of the adapter.
    7. Click on one or the other of the two newly-created shortcuts to change the state of the network adapter. A cmd window briefly flashes on the screen. This can be eliminated using the procedure mentioned by Try3 in a previous post, if desired.

    The solution for Windows 10 is much more cumbersome than the solution for Windows 7. I have to stop using Windows 7 due to the end of Microsoft support, and this is not the first time that I find Windows 10 to be less user friendly than Windows 7.

    Thanks, again, to all who have kindly given me help and advice

    Going from Standard User to Administrator on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Changing the permissions or level of access that the user profiles currently on your Windows 10 computer can be done in different ways. One possible way is through the use of the built-in option located in control panel. Before we proceeding with the steps
    to resolve your concern, kindly provide answers to the questions below:



    • The account that you're using on your Windows 10 computer, is that a local account or a Microsoft account?
    • What were the steps that you performed to set your account as a standard user?
    • Were there any error messages that showed up that requires admin privileges and that is the reason you want to switch your account back as an administrator?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?


    We look forward to your response to our queries.
