Windows 10: How to allow works user accounts to add or change things?

We have a number of business machines all set up and managed with windows pro set up for a business. This means, whilst the admin can access everything, users are too restricted. As all machines and users are remote this means more admin than is necessary.For example, how do we set windows to allow users to add printers without needing a TEAMVIEWER session so the admin can type in their id & password as windows only allows the admin to load manufacturer-specific printer apps.

User Account Control: Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?

Hi Josh,

User Account Control helps prevent malware from damaging a computer. It also allows all users to log on to their computers using a standard user account. To isolate your issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Have you tried booting up your computer in Safe Mode?
• Do you have an antivirus application installed?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you change your User Account Control Settings in Control Panel to modify the Settings. Kindly follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel and click User Accounts icon.
• Click Change User Account Control settings.
• This will open the C:\Windows\System32\UserAccountControlSettings.exe file.
• If prompted by User Account Control, click Yes.
• Move the slider up or down to the setting for how you want to be notified by User Account Control, and click OK.
• If prompted by UAC, click Yes.
• When finished, you can close User Accounts.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Standard user allow to change time

Hello,

I suggest you to change the account type from Standard to Administrator and check if it works.

Here are the steps:

Login to your Admin account.

In search type User Account and hit enter.

Click on Manage another account.

Select your Standard user account and click on change the account type.

From this page select Administrator and click on Change account type.

After doing this switch user from Admin account to Standard user account and try to change the date and time.

Hope this works.
