    Accessing Security Users/Groups in Win10 Home


    Hello,

    I would like to use this feature as I know it is buried deep inside Windows 10 Home Edition but when I launch the lusrmgr.msc control panel it tells me that the snapin cannot be used with this version of Windows and to use the User Accounts CP. I can see that the functionality is in fact used but buried in Windows 10 Home because it shows up in many instances when you right click on things and do a "deep dive" into the security tab and advanced. How can I get at this functionality/feature for Windows 10 Home Edition.

    I am a help desk tech with 25 years experience, going to computer cert school and at home during the current lock down of the world and I am looking for things to do and would like to learn this. I discovered it because I wanted to look at the contents of my WindowsApp folder but it told me I do not have access and gave me a cursory instruction list of how to gain access but I have a user/group that comes up as corrupted and instructing me to delete it but it will not allow for the deletion as it is greyed out. I am the 100% owner admin on my laptop. I have long ago taken full 100% ownership of everything on my laptop.

    Sincerely,

    Wonder Woman

    Here are screenshots of what I see:

    Hello Wonder Woman,

    Local Users and Groups is only available in the Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.

    To be able to open the WindowsApp folder, you would need to change the owner to the current user account's name signed in (must be an administrator) using step 2 in option 4 below. Afterwards, you should be able to approve to open it.
