    REMOVE hidden "Administrator Account"


    I am getting decidedly tired of the repeated messages in Windows 10 on my overpriced Microsoft-based Alienware computer telling me that I do not have administrator privileges and therefore my actions are blocked. I am the ONLY account on my PC besides the damned hidden admin one. I was always able to disable/remove these accounts in Win 98, Win XP and Windows 7, but I can NOT disable remove the preinstalled "We are in charge, NOT you," account on this PC running Windows 10. I'm ready to take a shotgun to this thing. I don't need to be asked, "Why do you wish to delete the hidden admin account?

    :)

    How to remove Microsoft Account from the Hidden Administrator


    I Accidentally convert the Hidden Administrator to a Microsoft Account, Need help to remove Microsoft Account on hidden admin.

    I use CMD elevated > net user administrator /active:yes

    On hidden Admin account you cannot switch to a Microsoft Account by going to Settings>accounts.

    What i did is trying to add a Microsoft account on the Windows 10 Store app. I intend to use the Microsoft Account on that app only. What happened I forgot to click that button. Instead I hit enter, since it ask for the password for the Hidden Admin. (Hidden Administrator do not have password by default)

    Then the Whole Hidden admin account is now a Microsoft account.

    Going to the Settings>accounts there is no button to switch to Local account.

    Can you please help me to remove the Microsoft account on the Hidden Administrator??

    Thanks in advance
