    Want to make the other email administrator


    So I have 2 emails on pc and I want to make the other one the main one and remove the other. What I mean is for example the other email can sign me in all apps and the other one is removed from the pc settings. I did remove the other one from accounts used by mail, callender but it wont remove from accounts used by other apps, How do I do this? No Im not using family accounts.

    :)

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    HELP to Change Administrator Email on New Laptop

    Hi Lian,

    The email address that you are using in the Microsoft Store will be the email address that will appear as your administrator account. Signing in your son's Microsoft account in Xbox app might change the account that signed in to the Microsoft Store. That
    being said, we suggest that follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • In the Your Info tab, Under Your
      email and accounts, click on
      Sign
      in with a
      local
      account instead.
    • Enter the password for the Microsoft account to confirm that you are authorized to make the change, and then click on
      Next.
    • On the Switch to a Local Account
      page, enter a temporary local user name and password.
    • Click on Next to sign out from the Microsoft account and sign back in using the new local account password.
    • Go back to Accounts, and this time, click on Sign in a Microsoft account instead.
    • Fill up the information needed.

    This step will change the email account linked on your administrator account. If you will let your son play on the Xbox app again, we suggest that you
    create a separate user account for him.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.
