    I had to add a second email , now Win 10 made it Administrator , not my original one , and...


    I had to add another hotmail email for a stupid forum i had to sign up for to edit some GoPro footage , so Windows 10 decided on its own to make that email address the main administrator account , and it also removed from the Accounts Screen , my original Hotmail account , so i can't switch to it as the main and make the new one a just a user account , my original account is still here , its just a Regular limited access account which pisses me off and for some reason it no longer shows up under Settings/Users/Administrators , WHY was this done ???? , Why did it not give me a choice as to which email i wanted to remain Administrator , and why did it make a new email automatically the Administrator account ??? , it also decided after i rebooted my pc , that it wants me to log in with a password using the new email account , it gives me no option to log on with a different account , or bypass login altogether which is how it has been since day 1 until this stupid email address took over on its own , who thought this idiotic idea up ??? , Please Fire them !!! , i am guessing because Windows 10 decided on its own to make my main Administrator account , a plain user account with no authority that i am having to ask this in these forums , i am really pissed about this


    If i wanted the account setting changed i would have changed it , but i did not , i wanted EVERYTHING left the same as it was with the exception of having 2 hotmail email addresses because a video editor forum can't accept email addresses with a underscore , so my regular email would not work , so i created a new/second one , and now my PC is screwed up with a log in screen (i never log in or enter passwords on anything in Windows 10) , its MY PC , i do not need to Log In , i just want to restart , and have it restart and go to my desktop with my original account as the primary administrator account with FULL privileges and no restrictions , and just have a second email that does nothing except receive and send emails with no user account control , as its just a stupid email , its not a changed account , nor did i authorize , nor was i asked permission for Windows 10 to CHANGE MY ACCOUNT SETTING WITHOUT MY PERMISSION !!!! , i just added a second simple email , i should be able to have a dozen emails , without each new one taking over , why does Windows 10 have to override MY decisions and accounts with stupid decisions that screw things up ?? , if I am THE ADMINISTRATOR ???? , ME , NOT Microsoft !!!


    How to i fix this idiotic mess that Windows 10 created WITHOUT deleting accounts or losing all my settings ???


    All i want is to change the NEW account to normal , and put back my Original Email/Microsoft account as Administrator with FULL Privileges and no log in screen (the account i am logged into these forums with)


    Any actual helpful info would be appreciated , Please no Generic Microsoft replies about needing log in for security or needing to reset all my accounts and lose all my settings , i DO NOT want to log in or have accounts changed because of adding a second email account , which should NOT have changed my setting at all , it should have just added a SECONDARY email address so i have 2 emails , its not that hard Microsoft , why do you insist on screwing up everyones PC with stuff we don't want or need ????


    Thanks ..... Jim

    Is it advisable/useful to have a second (full) Administrator account?


    Firstly, I should say that someone suggested this Forum to me and it's one of the most useful things that I have come across on the Internet!
    I read somewhere that one way to safeguard your system is to create a second Administrator account in addition to the one that is built-in in Windows, so that should there be a problem with the "original" Administrator account you would use the second one to restore the first one.
    If this is indeed advisable, what are the steps to do it? I presume that I should password-protect the second Administrator account.
    Would I have the second Administrator account always enabled and the original Administrator account always disabled?

  3. Change original administrator account


    I have purchased a used Asus laptop that already has Win 10 installed on it from the original owner. All of the settings on the computer are linked to that owner's Microsoft account and administrator account. Is there a way for me to change the administrator information to my Microsoft account and email? I can log in using the old owner's password to access the administrator account, but I don't see any way to change the account to my information. If I create a new user account and make it an administrator account, when I log in using the new account, there is no access to any of the apps I need from the original account. Thanks.

    Hi Monique,
