Windows 10: Limiting the number of apps that is available on standard accounts

Hi,


I recently created a new standard user account on my PC but i noticed that all my programs in my administrator account were available in the standard account. Is there a way to prevent some programs from being available in standard account that is in the administrator account?

Use Microsoft Account as a standard account with limited rights

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer.

You can change a Microsoft Account to a Standard Account. I suggest you to follow the below steps to change an Account to a Standard account.

Note: You need to be a Administrator account to make any changes on the computer. So make sure you have an Administrator account on the computer other than a Standard Account.

1. Type User Accounts in Search to open User Accounts.2. Click on the account you want to change.

3. Click on Change your Account Type and change it to Standard Account.

Hope this information is helpful.

Thank you.

 

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

• Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code: net user test /del[/quote]

 

I don't have an administrator account and i have two accounts and they are both standard account.

Hi,

As per your description, I understand that you have two standard accounts in your computer and you want to convert the account to Administrator account.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the standard account to administrator and check if it helps.

• Press ‘Windows+X’ and go to ‘Control panel’.
• Locate ‘User Accounts’ and click on it.
• Click on ‘Change your account type’ and check the option
  ‘Administrator’ then click on ‘Change account type’.
• Now your account will be changed as Administrator account.
