Windows 10: How to get back Administrator if your account is on device owners

How to get back Administrator if your account is on device owners

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Would like to change from owner to administrator

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to change from owner to administrator. Under control panel, user account, user account, manage account, change account, change account type. Under all that is "Choose a new account type for owner ." I am listed
as administrator. But at sign in at start up I listed as owner. As well in Power Shell ISE How I do change that ? Thank you

 

How to merge a User account with the administrator account.

I am a complete fool at this stuff which has perplexed me for years.

I am also neurologically disabled with DCD/dyspraxia - and dyslexia which contributes to difficulties staying focused and following sequences.

I shall try to explain my difficulty.

I want to use the show history procedure across my devices.

I understand I have to do it via Cortana - I followed the links I received -

I am not sure what they were now and tried to sign in as instructed but - I was shown my USER account as separate to that of the Administrator Account -

I want to keep the existing administrator account - which the person who set up my PC years ago simply called "owner" and make my Microsoft account become the Administrator/owner in order to continue with all the settings I now have.

Have I made any sense?

Can you suggest how I go about this or direct me to a tutorial please?

I do have the May 2010 - 2004 update installed and as far as I am aware my PC has all the windows updates available.

Thank you if you can after any simple steps help.
