    Windows 10 Administrators & Computer Management


    Good evening to all!
    I recently got an old pc from a friend who assured me it was formated with Windows 10 and made me only Administrator.
    However I came across the users list and shared folders and was a bit surprised by the amount of users and particular worried about the fact that there are 2 Administrators plus the fact that under shared folders there are a couple of "remote" Adm & IPC.
    I'd like to know if these are normal by default specifications and built-in properties or if I am not in total control.

    Welcome to TenForums @SaydWater

    Yes, those are the default accounts and shares you'll find on any Windows 10 PC. Everything looks normal.

    The one you blanked out is presumably your user account.

    Administrator and Guest are built in system accounts, both are disabled by default so no one (you included) can sign in as them.

    Default Account is a template which is copied when setting up new user accounts. WDAGUtilityAccount is, as it says, use by Window Defender.


    As you show Local Users and Groups in Computer Management you must have Pro rather than Home as Home does not include that.
