Today, I will talk to you about what to do about the lack of Windows 10 administrator account after the update. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following content for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Just like losing a password, the loss of administrator account permissions is one of the cases in which you (the user) cannot run any action.

This may be due to system conflicts or malware, or simply inadvertently modified user account settings in the user accounts Control Panel or the Local Security Policy snap-in.

The following is that you will not be able to return to the user account settings page and set yourself as an administrator. To make matters worse, you may not have a second administrator account in your system, so you will not activate the built-in administrator account.

As a result, you may encounter problems using applications in Windows, making new or modifying any configuration settings, and several other problems in the system.

Therefore, if you want to run the system without any obstacles, you must restore administrator privileges.

Since most operations require administrator privileges, how do you get them back? Here are some solutions to help you come back.

FIX:Win10 is missing an administrator account

1. Create another administrator account

-- Click start

-- Select Settin

-- transfer to account

-- choose family and others

-Select "add others to this PC"

-- Click next

-- choose to change the account type

-- Click the drop-down arrow and select Administrator to set the account to the administrator level

-- disable previous administrator accounts

Restart your computer

Log in to the new account you just created

two。 Change local account to administrator

If you lose administrator privileges on your account, change the local account to an administrator account by doing the following:

In the search bar, type the user account, and then click results

-- Select your user account

-Click to manage other accounts

-Click to add user account

-- create a local account user

-Click "add account"

-- Click "Log in" without Microsoft account

-Click the local account

-- fill in the details on the add Local account screen

-- Click finish

In the search button, type CMD and click Command prompt

Enter the following command: shutdown / r / o and press Enter. This will start the system in safe mode

In the search bar, type the user account, and then click results. You will now have two accounts in the system: the administrator account you have created and the local account

-Select a local account

-- change account status from Standardto Administrator

-Click to change account type. The new local account you created has now been changed to an administrator account.

Restart your computer

-- back up your documents from your old administrator account

-- switch to the Microsoft account and synchronize your settings with the new administrator account

-- your system will now have full administrative privileges and operate normally

Other things to try:

-run an antivirus scan because malware can block administrator privileges

Try to use a clean boot to see if the culprit of the conflict can be identified

-- Boot to restore using Windows DVD, and then run system restore to restore the computer to its previous location

If you are on a domain computer, ask your system administrator if any new restrictions have been applied

Check to see if you can activate a hidden Super Admin account. If you can, it will help you move forward. This can be helpful if you find yourself accidentally locked out of your main account and want to enter through the back door.
