Windows 10: How do I find out who all Interactive Administrator Users are.

I changed my laptop name, then I find out that I'm not signed in as an Interactive Administrator. I'm the only Administrator on my laptop. Yes, it is a Workgroup and I'm not sure how or why that was set up that way. But, there or things I do not have permission to do IE., some upgrades, installs. And I would like to know who is the the Interactive Administrator and to confirm there location of there device.


Thanks,

  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.
