Here We are ready to share something which is very important feature of windows. have you ever faced problem when you were trying to access something and windows does not allow it due to restricted account although it demands for administrator account. Right?

Then to access the Administrator account is bit long and sophisticated process. Also, it may take your more time than usual. But now you don’t have to worry about this concern, we are sharing simplest process to active administrator account from any User account i.e. Local Account, Standard Account, Gaming Account etc. Here We Go...

Detailing:

standard user: The standard account is an unelevated restricted user account that can be a local account or Microsoft account. It can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes to the system that affects everyone who uses the computer. When you are signed in to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if a standard user tries to do something that requires elevated rights (ex: run as administrator), Windows will display a UAC prompt for the standard user to enter the password of an administrator account for approval and confirmation before allowing the action.

administrator user : Is an unelevated administrator account that is created by default during the installation of Windows, or is already setup for you on an OEM (ex: Dell) computer. This account can be a local account or Microsoft account. An administrator account has complete access to the computer, and can make any desired changes. If an administrator user tries to do something that requires elevated rights (ex: run as administrator), Windows will display a UAC prompt for the administrator user to approve before allowing the action.

Built-in "Administrator" - The hidden built-in elevated "Administrator account" is a local account that has full unrestricted access rights to the PC. By default, this "Administrator" account will not be prompted by UAC. Anything that runs while signed in to this "Administrator" account will also have full unrestricted access to the PC.
