Practically everyone knows that in recent versions of Windows both a regular user with partial access to some settings, and the administrator himself, have limited rights. Because of this, sometimes there are many problems with starting programs or setting system parameters. Read on to learn how to get administrator privileges in Windows 10. A few simple methods are proposed for consideration, allowing you to bypass almost all the restrictions on access to certain functions of the system. However, I immediately want to warn all users that the developers of the operating system have not in vain imposed fairly stringent restrictions on the security of access to some functions of the OS itself, so some decisions will have to be made, as they say, at your own peril and risk (you never know what system settings you want later change).
Administrator rights in Windows 10: running programs
To get started, consider a few simple ways to run custom applications or system settings, which almost everyone knows about. But they can not be ignored. So, let's begin.
For example, in Windows 10, launching with administrator privileges of almost any program can be done through RMB on the icon with the appropriate line selected. At the same time, if the program is on the Start menu list, you can use the corresponding launch through RMB and the Advanced line.
The fact that the system sometimes issues requests to allow the launch of certain applications (for example, that do not have an appropriate certificate of authenticity or are questioned by the security system in terms of undesirable presence), is incredibly annoying for many users. Therefore, the majority wants to ensure that these requests do not appear.
For the selected program, you need to open the properties of the shortcut (through RMB), and by clicking the "Advanced" button, set the program to run continuously with admin rights without any permission requests.
Another technique is to first call the command line on behalf of the administrator and write the name of the application to start in it. But this, as already clear, is somewhat inconvenient and, by and large, simply duplicates the first two methods.
How to log in to Windows 10 with administrator privileges?
But suppose that the user has limited privileges, and he needs to log in as an administrator in order to perform all the necessary actions, so to speak, without asking permission from the system.
To do this, again, the Windows 10 command line with administrator privileges is used, the combination net user Admin / active: yes is registered in it, after which the system will be logged in under the administrator, and on an ongoing basis (meaning registration, for which was issued the corresponding activation command).
Change account type
In principle, administrator rights in Windows 10 can be granted to any registered account. Such settings can be made through the menu of parameters and the corresponding section "uchetok".
Here you need to select the family item and for the selected registration record click the button for changing it, after which a form will appear in which you just need to set the appropriate type from the list. After saving the changes, all restrictions will be removed.
Obtaining rights through local security policies
Also, administrator rights in Windows 10 can be assigned through security policies. The editor is called through the "Run" console with the secpol.msc command.
Here, through local policies, you need to go to the security settings, and in the accounts in the registration state, activate the local security setting by checking the "Enabled" line. In other words, after performing such actions, the user automatically becomes an administrator.
Local groups and users
There is another technique that allows you to obtain administrator rights. In Windows 10, a manager for managing local users and groups can be used for this, which can be called up via the Run menu with the lusrmgr.msc command.
In the editor, you need to go to the users section, and then find the administrator entry, after which, having entered the settings, disable it in the general settings tab. After that, it will be possible to log into the system under the user for whom the above actions were performed, with a full set of access rights.
Conclusion
It remains to add that in some cases you can use the addition of users to the administrator group, but this, most likely, applies only to local settings and, by and large, does not cancel the powers of the so-called super administrator, which is what we are talking about.
But which of the above methods should I prefer to make the appropriate changes? It seems that in the simplest case, you must initially activate the login under the administrator, although sometimes it’s enough to set the program to start automatically under the administrator for the selected programs.
Running programs on behalf of the administrator gives only one-time privileges and looks rather inconvenient. Restrictions on starting applications can be removed only if the user is sure that they are safe (even if they don’t have a certificate).
But it is not recommended to disable the administrator account without the need, because after changing some system parameters with the resolution disabled, you can play to the point that the whole system becomes unstable or refuses to work at all. So before making a decision, think a hundred times how all these actions will be appropriate.
