Windows 10: How would someone go about trying to change the administrator in settings to a different...

My partner signed in on my mother's laptop using her Microsoft account and it just refused my mum to use google chrome because she had to ask for permission to use the web browser, and I think it has to do with Microsoft family because she used the same account that she used to login to Xbox 1 X. I've been trying for an hour to try and remover my partner's account from being the administrator of the laptop, but nothing has worked so far. If you could respond quickly that would be much appreciated thank you.

Trying to change administrator in Windows 10

To change the Administrator on your PC, follow the steps below:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Click User Accounts.
• Select Manage other accounts.
• Select your user account.
• Change the account type.
• Choose Administrator.

Before doing this, make sure that you are logged in to an administrator account. Once you've applied these settings, your user account will also have administrative privilege from them on.

Tell us what would be the result.

 

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
