I am not recognized as an administrator on Windows 11

Hi,

Open a Command Prompt window and run:

• net localgroup administrators
  

Please post the output/screenshot here.

Meanwhile, restart Windows in Safe mode and login to the built-in Administrator account (it has a blank password by default). Once logged in, perform the steps in "Solution 3" (fixing the Group Membership) you tried earlier. REF: Lost Administrator Rights in Windows 10/11?

 

Change of administrator on Windows 11

Hi,

I am planning to change my administrator account to a new Microsoft account on Windows 11. I am confident on technical steps but I have a question on consequences. What I mean by that is: when I change my administrator account,

• do I lose some data?
  
• Can I access the data from the previous admin user folder? etc.
  

May I request you to help me with the points where it could go wrong and lose my data or access to the data please? Thanks in advance.

 

Device Manager Administrator Lock

Hi,





This misbehavior may happen if there were some changes in the user account control or if there are third-party security software that is running on your computer. To isolate what is causing this to happen, please answer the following questions:

• Were there any recent changes made to your system prior to the issue (updates, software installations, etc.)?
• What error message are you receiving whenever you try to access something that requires administrator’s access?

As an initial troubleshooting, please check if your login has been change to a non-admin user account by following these steps:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Select Control Panel, then click User Accounts.
• Under User Accounts, click Change Account type.
• Select Administrator,
• Click Change Account Type to apply changes.

We’ll be waiting for your response.
