How to enable the administrator account in Windows 10

Ғылым және технология

You can limit how much a user can do in Windows by switching on the built-in Administrator account, then downgrading the user's account to a standard user.

    Thank you!!! I was unable to access anything on my Admin account and this video helped me tremendously. Once I was able to create another account I was not able to do anything so went under services under Task Manager and voila! This video was so helpful.

    Hi dave got 1 question want to clarify as you have mentioned in windows 10 by default main user account is administrator. So is it mandatory that i have to turned on. The reason i am asking if i don't turned-in the hidden administrator account will i be still able to monitor the activities of the other accounts like family one if i had added my child account so i can put some restrictions like by mistake my child would not be able to access the control panel to avoid any discrepancies like deleting program.
