In order to hide the built-in Administrator, one of the normal users needs to be given admin privileges again or create new user with admin privileges. If you get Administrator at the prompt you should be able to click on the arrow there to change to all users, or ctrl+alt+del twice to get to the classic all user login with username/password. No one wants to go through that process sometimes even safe-mode may not work properly. A administrator has to be active so policy changes can be made, otherwise you would have to boot into safe mode to activate the admin account and then make changes. Same goes for changing the User admin to normal user, Windows will activate the built in Administrator account again. If only normal user accounts are made then the the built in Administrator account is activated. Showing a black down arrow in computer management under users. Since I don't know what is going on I am asking for advice.ĭuring install of Windows the first user created is typically part of the administrator group and the built-in Administrator and guest account is disabled. My wife logs into one of the standard accounts. I have since deleted this fourth account. I tried login into one of the standard user accounts and it succeeded. The "other user" logon icon appeared for "switch user". Once created a new standard user account. I tried a few other things and got non repeatable results. The system has been rebooted several times, windows has applied patches on one of the reboots. So I picked an earlier point in time, that restore installed without errors. Disabled AVG, still wouldn't "apply" the restore. The first restore point I picked failed to "install" on reboot, reported that either the restore point had problems or anti-virus program was blocking the restore. Used windows restore to try to go back before the problems. After editing the registry, and upon reboot only the system administrator account appeared.
Logon screen showed all three accounts, but one of the stanrd user accounts couldn't be successfully logged into.įollowed method #1 to edit registry and rename/copy/edit the S-1-5 keys. Problems started as "the user profile service failed the logon". Although the two standard user accounts still show up in the "manage users" control panel utility. On both startup or "swittch user" the login screen only shows the system admin account icon and the password field is waiting for input. System has 3 accounts: Administrator password protected, and two standard user accounts.
