So whether you want to elevate a Standard user to Admin or demote an Administrator account to a Standard user, you need to log in from an Administrator account to be able to do that. Another important thing to note here is that only users with administrative rights on Windows 11 can change the account type of other users.An account with administrative privileges can carry out many changes, ranging from software installation to hardware addition, from accessing protected system files to changing security settings, etc. On the other hand, admins have far-reaching powers that let them make virtually any system-wide change affecting all user accounts.A Standard account user can run existing applications (provided they were installed for all users), perform basic tasks, and modify system settings only related to their account. As mentioned above, when you create a new account in Windows 11, it defaults to the “Standard” type, which comes with limited privileges.Method 5: Change Account Type Using PowerShell Method 4: Change Administrator Account Using Command Prompt Method 3: Change Account Type Using User Accounts Panel
