如果您想授予标准用户(Standard user)对操作系统、其应用程序和设置的完全控制权，可以通过多种方法将其设置为Windows 11上的管理员(Administrator)。管理员帐户可以安装软件和硬件、访问任何文件（包括受保护的文件）以及管理 Windows 11 中的其他(Administrator)帐户(Windows 11)。此外，建议您拥有一个备份管理员(Administrator)帐户，以防您忘记密码或被锁定在计算机之外。本指南展示了如何使用五种不同的方法在Windows 11上更改(Windows 11)管理员。(Administrator)如果你想撤回一个顽皮的权限，过程类似(Administrator)通过降级管理员，只需按照以下说明的步骤更改Windows 11中的用户帐户类型：

How to change the Administrator on Windows 11: 5 ways -
If you want to grant a Standard uѕer complete control ovеr the operating system, іts aрps, and settings, there are several ways to set it aѕ Administrator оn Windows 11. An Administrator account can install software and hardware, access any files (including protected ones), and manage other accounts in Wіndows 11. Furthermore, it’s recommended to have a backup Administrator account, in case you forget your password or get locked out of yоur computer. This guide shows how to change the Administrator on Wіndows 11 using five different methods. The process is similar if you want to withdraw the рermissions of a naughty Administrator by demoting him, so just follow the steps illuѕtrated below to change the type of user account in Windows 11:
NOTE: If you truly want to change the user that has Administrator permissions in Windows 11, you first need to create a new user account which, by default, has standard non-admin permissions. Then, you need to set this newly created user as Administrator, using the instructions shared in this guide. Next, log in with the newly “minted” Administrator, and then set the current Administrator account as Standard, or you remove it completely from Windows 11, depending on what you want. However, before doing all this, we recommend reading our guide about user accounts and their types.

The Other users section shows all the user accounts in Windows 11 other than your own. Clicking or tapping on the user account you want to change reveals more options. Next, click or tap on the “Change account type” button.
Click or tap the name of the account you want to promote or demote
