Windows 10: Is it possible to Change from Standard User back to Administrator

I recently unwittingly changed my user status from administrator to standard user and can not now perform some of the administrator functions i.e DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth or use the SFC command tool to repair Windows 10 problems.Is there some way to reverse this? * Moved from Community Center

Standard user account created shows Administrator on Windows 10

Hello,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Are you logging in using a Microsoft account on any of the created two user accounts?
• Have you created 2 local account with administrative privileges on the computer?

Please be informed that Local user account as well as
Microsoft user account can be considered as Standard user account. A
Standard user account is the user account which do not have any administrative privileges.



It is possible to create two or more accounts with administrative privileges on computers running with Windows 10 operating system.



If you want to convert one of the user account as a standard account, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Control panel in the search box and select the top most search result.
• Select User Accounts and click on Change account type
  from the window.
• Click on the user account and select Change the Account type option.
• Select Standard and click on Change account type
  button from the window.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

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.

 

Account user mode changing issues.(Administrator/ standard)

Hi,

The User Account Control is a type of security that restricts unauthorized installation of apps and settings modification. You will normally encounter this notification if you are using a standard account. Since this is the issue that you have encountered
on your PC, we would like to ask for additional information to help us provide you the appropriate solution. Please answer the following:

• What command did you run when you changed the administrator account to standard?
• Do you still have another administrator account that you can log into?
• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We look forward to your response.
