如果您想在 Windows 10 PC 上提升值得信赖的用户或限制顽皮用户的权限，有多种方法可以将帐户类型从标准(Standard)更改为管理员(Administrator)，反之亦然。虽然标准(Standard)帐户允许您访问设备并进行不影响其他用户的更改，但您需要管理员权限才能完全控制(Administrator)Windows 10中的操作系统、其应用程序和设置。本教程说明了如何通过六种不同的方式更改Windows 10中的用户帐户类型，从标准(Standard)到管理员(Administrator)，反之亦然：
首先(First)要做的事：关于Windows 10中的(Windows 10)标准(Standard)和管理员(Administrator)帐户
Windows 10 中有两种类型的用户帐户：(user accounts)标准(Standard)和管理员(Administrator)。在Windows 10 中创建新帐户时(create a new account in Windows 10)，它默认具有标准(Standard)权限。这是一种有限类型的帐户，只要不影响Windows 10中的其他用户，就可以使用现有应用程序、执行基本任务和修改系统设置。
管理员对Windows 10计算机或设备拥有(Administrator)完全的控制权和自主权。具有管理员(Admin)权限的帐户可以执行任何操作，从安装软件和硬件到访问受保护的系统文件、更改安全设置和执行提升的任务。您还需要成为管理员(Admin)才能管理 Windows 10 PC 上的其他用户帐户，包括将其类型更改为Administrator或Standard，如本教程中所示。如果您想将管理员(Administrator)降级为标准(Standard)用户，您需要在与您更改的管理员帐户不同的管理员帐户上进行身份验证。(Administrator)
1.在Windows 10的设置(Settings)中将帐户类型更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
在 Windows 10 中，可以从“设置”(Settings)应用轻松授予或撤销管理员权限。(Administrator)打开设置(Open Settings)并访问帐户(Accounts)。
单击或点击帐户设置
从左侧的列中访问“家庭和其他用户”选项卡。(“Family & other users”)在右侧，“其他用户(Other users)”部分显示您的 Windows 10 设备上除您自己以外的所有用户帐户。单击(Click)或点击要升级或降级的用户帐户的名称，然后按随后的“更改帐户类型”(“Change account type”)按钮。
按您要编辑的帐户以显示更改(Change)帐户类型选项
在“更改帐户类型”(“Change account type”)窗口中，您可以看到所选用户帐户的名称及其类型。单击(Click)或点击显示当前帐户类型(Account type)的字段以打开下拉菜单。
按帐户(Account)类型字段打开一个下拉菜单
选择第一个选项将标准(Standard)帐户提升为管理员(Administrator)。要删除管理员权限，请选择标准用户(Standard User)。然后，单击或点击确定(OK)以保存更改。
选择管理员(Administrator)或标准用户(Standard User)帐户类型，然后按 OK
就是这样。您更改的帐户应在“其他用户(Other users)”部分显示其新类型。
2.从控制面板(Control Panel)将帐户更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
您还可以在 Windows 10的控制面板中将(Control Panel)标准(Standard)用户更改为管理员(Administrator)，反之亦然。打开控制面板(Open the Control Panel)，然后在用户帐户(User Accounts)部分中，找到“更改帐户类型”(“Change account type”)链接。单击或点击它。
访问更改帐户类型链接
接下来，您会看到 Windows 10 计算机或设备上所有用户帐户的列表。管理员(Administrator)帐户在下方显示其类型。单击(Click)或点击要更改为Administrator或Standard的用户帐户。
选择您要更改其类型的帐户
下一页显示所选用户的选项列表。按左侧的“更改帐户类型”链接。(“Change the account type”)
单击(Click)或点击更改(Change)帐户类型
您现在可以修改用户帐户的类型。选择您要分配的人，标准(Standard)或管理员(Administrator)，然后单击或点击“更改帐户类型”(“Change Account Type)。”
将帐户类型更改(Change Account Type)为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
您将返回到上一个屏幕，您可以在其中通过检查管理员(Administrator)头衔是否显示在所选帐户下方来验证您的更改是否已应用。
3. 使用计算机管理(Computer Management)更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)用户
第三种更改帐户类型的方法涉及访问计算机管理(Computer Management)(accessing the Computer Management)工具。在“计算机管理(Computer Management)”窗口左侧的“系统工具(System Tools)”下，展开“本地用户和组”(“Local Users and Groups”)，然后单击或点击“用户(Users)” 。中间窗格现在显示您的 Windows 10 计算机或设备上当前可用的所有帐户。
在Windows 10(Windows 10)的计算机管理(Computer Management)中查看用户列表
接下来，双击或双击要编辑的用户条目。或者，您也可以右键单击或按住要升级或降级的帐户以打开上下文菜单。然后，单击或点击属性(Properties)。
从用户的右键单击菜单中按属性
在“用户属性(User Properties)”弹出窗口中，访问“成员”(Member Of)选项卡，您可以在其中查看该帐户所属的所有用户组。(user groups)如果您希望用户拥有管理员(Admin)权限，它需要是管理员(Administrators)用户组的一部分。正如您在下面看到的，我们的用户是Standard，因此我们必须将其添加到适当的组中才能将其更改为Administrator。单击或点击添加(Add)按钮。
按添加(Press Add)将帐户更改为管理员(Administrator)
选择组(Select Groups)窗口打开。在唯一可用的文本字段中键入“ Administrators ”，按Check Names，然后按OK。
在Windows 10中将用户添加到管理员(Administrators)
该用户现在是管理员(Administrators)组的一部分，如下所示。要将帐户恢复为Standard，它只能是Users组的成员，而不是Administrators组的成员。在Member Of选项卡中，选择Administrators用户组，然后单击或点击Remove。
无论您是升级还是降级帐户，完成后不要忘记按确定(OK)或应用(Apply)，以保存您的更改。
将帐户返回标准版
就是这样。该帐户现在具有您分配的权限。
4. 在Windows 10(Windows 10)中使用 netplwiz更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
在Windows 10(Windows 10)中更改帐户类型的另一种方法是使用用户帐户(User Accounts)实用程序或netplwiz。首先，使用键盘快捷键Win + R启动“运行”窗口，然后在“(launch the Run window)打开(Open)”字段中插入“ netplwiz ” 。然后，按键盘上的OK或Enter 。
键入 netplwiz 并按 OK
在“用户帐户”窗口的“(User Accounts)用户(Users)”选项卡中，您可以看到一个带有“此计算机的用户”(“Users for this computer)的列表。”选择您要降级或升级的帐户，然后按“属性(Properties)”按钮。
选择(Choose)一个帐户并打开其属性
访问Group Membership选项卡并选择您要设置的帐户类型：标准用户(Standard user)或管理员(Administrator)。然后，按OK或Apply。
(Choose)在标准用户(Standard user)和管理员(Administrator)之间选择并应用(Apply)您的更改
现在根据您的偏好设置用户帐户类型。
5.使用命令提示符(Command Prompt)更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
您还可以像往常一样依靠命令提示符(Command Prompt)将帐户类型从标准(Standard)更改为管理员(Administrator)，反之亦然。通过在任务栏的搜索字段中搜索“ cmd ”，然后按“以管理员身份运行”(“Run as administrator”)选项来启动命令提示符。(Command Prompt)
搜索 cmd 并按以管理员身份运行(Run)
在UAC(UAC)弹出窗口中确认您的选择，然后启动命令提示符(Command Prompt)。
要授予用户管理员权限，请在提升的(Admin)命令提示符(Command Prompt)中输入以下命令，将 NAME 替换为您要升级的用户的名称：net localgroup Administrators “NAME” /add - 如下所示。
使用 CMD(Use CMD)将帐户提升为管理员(Administrator)
标准(Standard)帐户更改为管理员(Administrator)帐户。
要从帐户中删除管理员权限，在(Admin)CMD中插入的命令有点不同：net localgroup Administrators “NAME” /delete
使用 CMD(Use CMD)将帐户类型从管理员(Administrator)更改为标准(Standard)
提示：(TIP:)如果您使用命令行解释器更改Microsoft帐户的权限，请将(Microsoft)NAME替换为与其关联的电子邮件地址的前五个字母。
6.在Windows 10中使用PowerShell更改为管理员(Administrator)或标准(Standard)
可用于在Windows 10(Windows 10)中更改帐户类型的另一个有用工具是PowerShell。通过在任务栏的搜索字段中键入“ powershell(powershell) ”然后单击或点击“以管理员身份运行”(Run as Administrator)选项来启动应用程序的升级版本，如下所示。
运行提升的 PowerShell
在生成的UAC窗口中，确认允许程序进行更改，然后PowerShell将打开。要将帐户类型更改为Administrator，您必须输入的命令是：Add-LocalGroupMember -Group “Administrators” -Member “NAME”
将 NAME 替换(Replace NAME)为提升用户的名称，如下图所示。
使用PowerShell将帐户提升为管理员(Administrator)
将帐户恢复为标准(Standard)权限的命令类似：
删除-LocalGroupMember -组“管理员”-成员“名称”(Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group “Administrators” -Member “NAME”)
(Return)使用PowerShell将管理员(Administrator)恢复为标准(Standard)
就是这样。尽管PowerShell不提供反馈，但您可以使用第一种方法来验证帐户的类型。
您在Windows 10中将多少个帐户更改为管理员(Administrator)？
我们认为，在与技术上没有倾向的孩子或亲戚打交道时，标准账户就足够了。(Standard)仅当您信任他们以及他们做出不会损害您系统的决策的能力时，才应将用户提升为管理员。(Administrator)现在您已经了解了有关用户帐户以及如何在Windows 10中更改(Windows 10)管理员(Administrator)的更多信息，我们很好奇您授予了多少个帐户管理员(Admin)权限。您的 Windows 10 计算机或设备上的管理员(Admins)数量是否多于标准用户？(Standard)让我们在评论中知道。
6 ways to change an account to Administrator and back in Windows 10 -
If you want to promote a trustworthy user or limit the permissions of a naughty one on your Windows 10 PC, there are several ways to change an account type from Standard to Administrator and the other way around. While a Standard account lets you access the device and make changes that don’t affect other users, you need Administrator privileges to have complete control over the operating system, its apps, and settings in Windows 10. This tutorial illustrates how to change the type of user account in Windows 10, from Standard to Administrator and vice versa, in six different ways:
First things first: About Standard and Administrator accounts in Windows 10
There are two types of user accounts in Windows 10: Standard and Administrator. When you create a new account in Windows 10, it defaults to having Standard permissions. This is a limited type of account that can use existing applications, perform basic tasks, and modify system settings as long as they don’t affect other users in Windows 10.
An Administrator has complete control and autonomy over the Windows 10 computer or device. An account with Admin rights can do anything from installing software and hardware to accessing protected system files, changing security settings, and executing elevated tasks. You also need to be an Admin to manage other user accounts on your Windows 10 PC, which includes changing their type to Administrator or Standard, as illustrated in this tutorial. If you want to demote an Administrator to Standard user, you need to be authenticated on a different Administrator account than the one you are changing.
1. Change an account type to Administrator or Standard from Settings in Windows 10
In Windows 10, Administrator permission can be granted or withdrawn easily from the Settings app. Open Settings and access Accounts.
Click or tap on Accounts settings
Access the “Family & other users” tab from the column on the left. On the right, the Other users section displays all the user accounts on your Windows 10 device other than your own. Click or tap the name of the user account you want to promote or demote, and then press the subsequent “Change account type” button.
Press on the account you want to edit to reveal the Change account type option
In the “Change account type” window, you can see the name of the selected user account and its type. Click or tap on the field showing the current Account type to open a dropdown menu.
Pressing the Account type field opens a dropdown menu
Select the first option to elevate a Standard account to Administrator. To remove admin privileges, select Standard User. Then, click or tap OK to save your changes.
Select the Administrator or Standard User account type and press OK
That was it. The account you changed should display its new type in the Other users section.
2. Change an account to Administrator or Standard from the Control Panel
You can also change a Standard user to Administrator and vice versa from the Control Panel in Windows 10. Open the Control Panel and, in the User Accounts section, find the “Change account type” link. Click or tap on it.
Access the Change account type link
Next, you are shown a list of all the user accounts on your Windows 10 computer or device. Administrator accounts display their type underneath. Click or tap on the user account you want to change to Administrator or Standard.
Choose the account whose type you want to change
The next page displays a list of options for the selected user. Press the “Change the account type” link on the left.
Click or tap Change the account type
You can now modify the user account’s type. Select the one you want to assign, either Standard or Administrator, and then click or tap on “Change Account Type.”
Change Account Type to Administrator or Standard
You are returned to the previous screen, where you can verify that your changes are applied by checking whether the Administrator title is displayed underneath the selected account.
3. Change to Administrator or Standard user using Computer Management
A third method to change an account type involves accessing the Computer Management tool. On the left side of the Computer Management window, under System Tools, expand “Local Users and Groups” and click or tap on Users. The middle pane now displays all the accounts currently available on your Windows 10 computer or device.
See a list of Users in Windows 10’s Computer Management
Next, double-click or double-tap on the user entry you want to edit. Alternatively, you can also right-click or press-and-hold on the account you want to promote or demote to open a contextual menu. Then, click or tap on Properties.
Press Properties from a user’s right-click menu
In the User Properties pop-up window, access the Member Of tab, where you can see all the user groups the account belongs to. If you want the user to have Admin rights, it needs to be part of the Administrators user group. As you can see below, our user is Standard, so we have to add it to the appropriate group to change it to Administrator. Click or tap on the Add button.
Press Add to change an account to Administrator
The Select Groups window opens. Type “Administrators” in the only available text field, press Check Names, and then OK.
Add a user to Administrators in Windows 10
The user is now part of the Administrators group, as seen below. To revert an account to Standard, it must only be a member of the Users group, and NOT the Administrators one. In the Member Of tab, select the Administrators user group and click or tap on Remove.
Whether you’re promoting or demoting an account, don’t forget to press OK or Apply when you’re done, to save your changes.
Return an account back to Standard
That was it. The account now has the privileges you assigned.
4. Change to Administrator or Standard with netplwiz in Windows 10
Another method to change an account’s type in Windows 10 is with the User Accounts utility or netplwiz. To begin, launch the Run window with the keyboard shortcut Win + R and insert “netplwiz” in the Open field. Then, press OK or Enter on your keyboard.
Type netplwiz and press OK
In the Users tab of the User Accounts window, you can see a list with “Users for this computer.” Select the account you want to demote or promote and press the Properties button.
Choose an account and open its Properties
Access the Group Membership tab and select the account type you want to set: Standard user or Administrator. Then, press OK or Apply.
Choose between Standard user and Administrator and Apply your changes
The user account type is now set according to your preferences.
5. Change to Administrator or Standard with the Command Prompt
You can also rely on the Command Prompt, as always, to change an account’s type from Standard to Administrator and the other way around. Start the Command Prompt by searching “cmd” in your taskbar’s search field and then pressing on the “Run as administrator” option.
Search for cmd and press Run as administrator
Confirm your choice in the UAC pop-up window, and the Command Prompt is launched.
To grant a user Admin rights, enter the following command in the elevated Command Prompt, replacing NAME with the name of the user you want to promote: net localgroup Administrators “NAME” /add - as seen below.
Use CMD to promote an account to Administrator
The Standard account is changed to an Administrator one.
To remove Admin rights from an account, the command to insert in CMD is a bit different: net localgroup Administrators “NAME” /delete
Use CMD to change account type from Administrator to Standard
TIP: If you are changing permissions for a Microsoft account using command-line interpreters, replace NAME with the first five letters of the email address associated with it.
6. Change to Administrator or Standard with PowerShell in Windows 10
Another useful tool you can use to change an account’s type in Windows 10 is PowerShell. Launch the elevated version of the app by typing “powershell” in the taskbar’s search field and then clicking or tapping the Run as Administrator option, as shown below.
Run elevated PowerShell
In the resulting UAC window, confirm allowing the program to make changes, and PowerShell opens. To change an account’s type to Administrator, the command you must enter is: Add-LocalGroupMember -Group “Administrators” -Member “NAME”
Replace NAME with the name of the promoted user, as we did in the following image.
Promote an account to Administrator with PowerShell
The command to return the account to Standard privileges is similar:
Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group “Administrators” -Member “NAME”
Return an Administrator back to Standard with PowerShell
That was it. Although PowerShell does not offer feedback, you can use the first methods to verify an account’s type.
How many accounts did you change to Administrator in Windows 10?
We believe a Standard account is enough when dealing with a child or a relative that isn’t technically inclined. Users should only be promoted to Administrator if you trust them and their ability to make decisions that don’t harm your system. Now that you know more about user accounts and how to change Administrator in Windows 10, we’re curious how many accounts you granted Admin rights to. Are there more Admins than Standard users on your Windows 10 computer or device? Let us know in the comments.
