changing standard account to administrative account

Hi Kiran,

These changes cannot be made with a standard account. Since you changed the administrator account to a standard one, you will not be able to make any changes that affect other users on the computer.

If there is another administrator account on the computer, we suggest to login using that account and change your account to administrative account.

Follow the steps below on how to change your standard account to administrative account:

1. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.

2. Click on User Accounts in Large Icons View.

3. Click on Manage another account.

4. Click on the standard account.

5. Click on Change Account Type and select Administrator.

6. Click on Change Account Type button and restart the computer.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Unable to Change Standard to Administator

Hello Sherrie,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We regret the inconvenience caused to you. We will be glad to assist you with your issue.

I would like to inform you that in-order to change an account from Standard to Administrator, you need to first login with an administrator Account. You cannot make any changes with Standard Account. I suggest you to login
with an administrator account and then make the changes. However if you do not have another administrator account, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

1. Right click on the Start Button
and select Command prompt (Admin).

2. On the command line type:
net user administrator /activate:yes and hit Enter
on your keyboard.

This will enable your build in Administrator account. Restart your computer and login with the administrator account. Once you are in the Build in administrator account you can change the original user account administrator
type from Standard to Administrator and save it.

Once you have successfully made the changes,
disable the Build in administrator account by following steps given below:

1. Right click on the Start Button
and select Command prompt (admin).

2. On the command line type: net user administrator /activate:no
and hit Enter on your keyboard.

This will disable the build in administrator account. Restart and login with your user account.

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
