How to check if a Windows account is a standard or administrator account

  1. Open the Settings Windows app.

  • Select the Windows Icon in the lower left.

  • Begin typing "Settings" and the Settingsapp will appear in the results.

  • Select Open.

  1. Locate the account you would like to check in either:

  • Your Info - if you are currently logged in as the user you are checking, or...

  • Family & Other Users - if you are checking a different account than the one you are logged in as.

  1. Find the account type beneath the account name.

  • If the account says Administrator beneath it, then it is an administrator account.

  • If the account does not say Administrator beneath it, then it is a standard account.
