As you know, towards the end of the Windows 10 installation or setup, Windows setup prompts you to create a user account. Although Windows gives the Administrator user status to this user account, Windows 10 automatically generates another super or elevated Administrator account during the installation and the account is hidden by default due to security reasons.
The built-in Administrator account is usually used to troubleshoot Windows. Unlike the normal Administrator account, this hidden by default or built-in Administrator account runs all programs and tools with admin rights by default, which means that the annoying UAC box will not appear when you attempt to run a program as administrator. This also means that all programs that are launched from this account are running without any restrictions.
There are three ways to enable the built-in or hidden administrator account in Windows 10. You can enable the same via Command Prompt, Local Users and Groups or Local Security Policy.
IMPORTANT: As the hidden Administrator launches applications and tools without any restrictions, it’s wise to enable and use the account only if you know how to use it. Also, we recommend you assign a password to the account as soon as you enable it.
Method 1 of 3
Enable the built-in administrator account in Windows 10
Step 1: Open elevated Command Prompt (Command Prompt with admin rights). To open Command Prompt as administrator, you need to type CMD in Start search box and then simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys. Be sure to simultaneously press all three keys.
Who Is My Network Administrator
When you see the UAC prompt, click Yes button.
Alternatively, you can navigate to Start, All Apps, Windows System (double-click on Windows system folder), right-click on Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator option. Click Yes button when you see the UAC box to open elevated Command Prompt.
When the elevated Command Prompt is launched, “Administrator” will appear in the toolbar of the Command Prompt (see below picture).
Step 2: In the elevated Command Prompt, type the following command and then press Enter key.
Net user administrator /active:yes
Step 3: Close the Command Prompt. That’s it!
The newly enabled built-in Administrator account can now be accessed by clicking your user account name in the Start and then clicking the Administrator account. This hidden Administer will now also appear on the login screen of Windows 10.
Tip: To disable the built-in Administrator account, simply type Net user administrator /active:no in the elevated Command Prompt.

hey guys,
I recently installed win 8 on my new pc and i'm having troubles with my Steelseries driver. i asked their support and i received a reply with a few solutions, but basically they said to run it as an administrator. they also said that in the following screen all the access should be under full control. as you can see- not everything is under full control
.
but if i check my user under the control panel- you can see that i'm the administrator
so, is it ok? Am i the Administrator or not? why everything is not listed under full control?
