Windows 10: Not able to change from standard user to Admin in windows 10

Hi All,


I have changed the only user account from Administrator to Standard User from NETPLWIZ and now I am unable to change it back in Windows 10. I have checked the forum and tried the suggestions but nothing worked out for me.


Request you to help me out.


Regards,

Kumudwini.

Standard user able to access Admin folders?


Dirk,

The password you entered earlier was that of an Admin user account and it permanently authorised your access to the folder concerned.

You will be able to see this by right-clicking on the folder, selecting Properties, Security tab - your standard user account name will be shown as having permission to access the folder. You can change that entry to undo what you have done if you want to [use either Edit or Advanced].

Standard user allow to change time

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.

 

Change account from admin to standard

Hi,

To begin with, I would like to inform that in order for you to be able to make changes in your PC, you will require your local account to be an
Admin account instead of a Standard one. Changing the account to a Standard account will disable your ability to make any changes to your computer.

If you still wish to create a Standard Local Account, I suggest that you navigate to Settings > Accounts > Family and other Users. Here select the
current username and click on the Change Account Type
button and select Standard. This will automatically change your account from
Admin to Standard, and you will not require to change the username and password.

In the event that you wish to change the username and password, I suggest that you make changes to the above sited first and then change your account to a
Standard one from and Admin account.

Hope this helps

Regards
