Admin account with "Some settings are managed by system administrator"

I am trying to change some power options from an Administrator account. When I click the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" on the first screen. The "Some settings are managed by system administrator" displayed on the second screen. The issue is I am the Administrator.

 

Can not use two monitors. Error message: "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings"

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Since when are you facing this issue with the monitors?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
  
• What happens when you try to duplicate the monitors?
  

I suggest you to try changing the display ports of the monitors and check if the second monitor is getting detected.



I suggest you to follow the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.

Method 1: Try rolling back the driver.

To roll back the driver to previous build follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold the Windows + X key on the keyboard.
   
2. Select Device manager.
   
3. In Device manager, expand Display adaptor.
   
4. Right click on NVIDIA
   Drivers and select Properties.
   
5. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
   
6. Restart the computer.
   

Method 2: Change the screen resolution.

1. Go to Settings>System>Display.
   
2. Under Resolution, set the resolution as 1024 x 768.
   
3. Set the same resolution on the other monitor.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Trying to change administrator in Windows 10

To change the Administrator on your PC, follow the steps below:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Click User Accounts.
• Select Manage other accounts.
• Select your user account.
• Change the account type.
• Choose Administrator.

Before doing this, make sure that you are logged in to an administrator account. Once you've applied these settings, your user account will also have administrative privilege from them on.

Tell us what would be the result.
