Info:
Everyone knows that Windows 10 offers two main types of accounts for users, including administrator and standard user, each with different permissions for using a PC. The administrator allows complete control. This means that users can change settings globally, install apps, perform elevated tasks, and do pretty much anything else.
On the other hand, the standard user account type is more restrictive. Users with this type of account can work with apps, but are not allowed to install new apps. You can change settings, but only settings that do not affect other accounts. When an app needs a raise, they need administrator credentials to complete the task.
