Hi,



Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10.

• 
  Is there any other user account? If yes, is that an admin account?
  

If not, I suggest you to enable the Built-in Administrator Account
and then try to create a new user account with administrator privileges.

Follow the steps to enable the Built-in Administrator Account.

Steps to Enable the Built-in Administrator Account.

• a) Press Windows + X, Select Run.
• b) Type net user administrator /active:yes
• c) Close the elevated command prompt.
• d) The built-in Administrator will now be available to select to sign into.
• e) Restart the system.

Then enter into the administrator account. And try to create new user account.

Try these steps to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
• Select Add an Account.
• Enter a user name and hit next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
• Check if issue persists.

Once you create the new administrator user account try to disable
Built-in Administrator Account.

Steps to disable the Built-in Administrator Account.

• a) Press Windows + X, Select Run.
• b) Type net user administrator /active:no
• c) Close the elevated command prompt.
