Admin Setting HELP!!!

Help!! I'm a total newbie to Windows 10 yet somehow changed from Administrator to Local user.
How do I change back to Admin (so I have access to open my programs again!!)???
Thanks!

You have to be logged in as an administrator in order to change an account from standard user to administrator.

How do I check that?? (sorry - newbie over here!!)

Open a command prompt. Run:

net localgroup administrators

What accounts show up in the administrators group?

Do you mean you changed from online login with email to local user which can still be admin?

hi, i have the same problem, i ran net localgroup administrators and it came out administrators have complete access and unrestricted to computer/domain. but im signed in as user, i cannot access admin etc.

But i cannot install/uninstall or do anything as a admin, cannot even change settings. Can you help me pls,

We need to know which user accounts are in the administrators group:

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>net localgroup administrators
Alias name     administrators
Comment        Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain

Members

Administrator
John
The command completed successfully.

I have two user accounts in my administrators group: Administrator and John
