Windows 10 Home Disabled Administrator

Proculeius · 24 Sep 2015

Hi Folks,

Well this user has put themselves in a sticky spot. New install of Windows 10 home,
initially signed in through a MS account (admin user), decided to convert it to a local user
and subsequently removed all admin privileges..

I've done some research on how to restore/create a new admin account, however the home
edition of 10 doesn't allow that capability. UAC is enabled and won't allow us to open to
run any apps which makes changes to the PC.

Kudos to anyone who can provide a solution on this one.
