    Windows 10 User Account Administrator


    I tried to change the Administrator in my laptop through Windows 10, but somehow the laptop no longer has an Administrator on any of the user accounts. When I try to make a change to my computer using an app or program, I’m requested to provide admin permission through the entry of a user name and password, yet there is no longer an Administrator in any of the user accounts. Since I’m unable to use any Windows app or program to make a change, how do I resolve this issue.

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Look at this thread,How to Delete a User Account in Windows 10, it may help. You can try the various methods.
    Make sure you are using an administrative account when removing the account or log on using the Administrator's account.

    Or, if you are patient and know what you are doing, manually remove it.

    Either way, Goodluck.

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 10 User Account Administrator :(

    How do i get my user account to administrator account

    Hi,

    To make the account an administrator account, we recommend the steps below:

    • Click Start, then select Settings.
    • Select Account, then click Family & other people (or
      Other people, if you're using Windows 10 Enterprise).
    • Then, select Change account type.
    • Under Account type, select Administrator, then hit
      OK.
    Restart your machine and sign in with the new administrator account.

    If the the issue still persists, we suggest to create a local user then do
    the steps above again.

    We look forward to your response.
