Ten minutes to convey: "Don't login to your PC as an administrator, unless you have a specific task that requires administrator privileges. Use a standard user account for your day-to-day activities." It is sane advice. Note that even if you are lazy and always login as an administrator, you will still get the "UAC" prompt if you try to install software that seeks administrator privileges -- you just won't have to put in your password (you will only have to click "Yes" to approve the task). In Windows 10, running as an administrator does not give you direct access to privileged tasks. It just makes it easy for your shell (your login) to achieve elevated privileges, which will allow you to wreck your system.
@Angel Wyngs I always close my eyes, count to ten, and then cross the street. I never had a problem. Those "look both ways" warnings are for paranoid people. And, yes, Angel Wyngs, I know that you are trolling for attention. Did my reply give you the "kick" that you so crave?
@Angel Wyngs, instead of deleting your moronic comment (the comment that my above "close my eyes" comment was replying to), a real man would own his post and admit that he wrote a moronic comment.
I'm curious as to why you created your own Admin account as opposed to using the one built into Windows? What are the advantages of using your own user created Admin account over the built in one for this purpose?
The built in admin account has compatibility problems with some newer apps, I believe. Also Microsoft store and Xbox game pass might not work properly. But Allah (S.W.T.) knows best.
Alternatively, simply arc-weld the USB ports to the Display-Port / HDMI / DVI / VGA ports. Minimum of 200Amperes required. Bonus points offered if this is done directly on the motherboard PCB traces!
Great video for the average windows user. A small percentage of home users set a basic account on theyer pc's.. Almost half of them does not use any av software beside windows defender. All tweeks you have done between 5:48 - 6:02 are deleted by the system with first update. Basically you should redo this procedure after every update of windows. And there is no official way to block telemetry on win 10 permanently.
This is like a nice way of saying if you aren't smart enough to not get infected, you aren't smart enough to be an administrator. Also, doing this from computer management local users would be about a million times easier.
i'am back to confirm whatever has been said in this video - Works perfectly. After a 2,5 years having Accounts put like this i didn't have a single malware issue. I warmly recomend it as said - this should be on every computer you have. Thanks author for this gem.
That's what I did too! I created Admin account, and set it aside... then, created a user account(non-admin access) and logged into User account to use computer for general tasks. Admin account is set aside for installations and other critical tasks, maintenance etc., Such smartness. Much Knowledge. Wow wow me! :)
I use Noscript, it prevents a world of pain. The main way people get infected computers is opening email attachments from people they probably don't know, "upgrading" software they already use from dodgy sites instead of the developer's site, "Flash" being a serious culprit, and generally being careless.
Thanks Brian. I’ve known about this technique for years but, somehow, haven’t ever got around to implementing it. Will give it a go! Thanks for a great demo.
An even better tip would be to install decent AV/firewall/sandbox/zero day attack prevention software. I log in every day with my administrator account, and I use Comodo Internet Security which is free. I have not had one single virus on my computer since the XP era.
Hi Brian....I asked this QUESTION below where you replied to another chap's comment but I will repeat it here, which is: "I am not a tech-savvy Nana, but I do try my best by listening to your advice. QUESTION: I do use CCleaner so can you advise on what I should use after I uninstall this? Thank you dear, for all your help....it means a lot to the older generation!"
The biggest weakness of Windoze has always been that it does not separate admin from user accounts by default. Most users would never know that this feature exists.
This very clever and I have done ALL clients at work with no issues. Is it possible to have a "start-up" program to start up without it prompting me for a password every morning?
This is a good extra step for a little extra protection. I hear that Microsoft is really hiding the ability to add local user accounts in the newest builds of Windows 10.
I've been using this method for the last 10 years. I do my everyday computing on a local standard account. I have also set up all my family computers with standard accounts. I maintain the computers with an admin account and they use their computers with the standard account.
Another great way to make sure you don't get viruses or mall ware is to run an add blocker. Email and ads is where most viruses come from. Never in my 20+ years of computing have I got either.
Hello there! Thanks a lot for this very usefull advise! I'm gonna do this right now. Having several people using the same computer this is a must! My account was the administrator account but indeed it's better to have things separated. Liked and subscribed.
This is so brilliant. I've just discovered that powershell was allowing an administrator to secretly control my pc. This is exactly what I need. Lord knows how long he has had access to everything. Please please please make a video on how to delete powershell. I can't do it! Thanks so much Britec.
Hi Brian, I added the extra account and then swapped the Standard and Admin around as per your video, and all seemed well. When I later went to edit a file, I could open it, but it wouldn't allow me to "Save as". I eventually solved this by going back into the new Admin account, then Manage Ransomeware Protection, and then "Allow an app through controlled folder access". Once I had added Affinity Publisher, and then returned to my standard account, there was no further problems with saving these documents. I suspect I will be doing this again with other apps.
A simple way is to use ''Shadow Defender'' software each time you restart it all goes back to your original settings. Some changes can be made to survive a restart, if you choose to.
Gonna do this... my machine is quite lagging at times... almost every 30 min i guess... it freezes twice then get back up... it might be the 2gb ram perhaps, or its just infected in some ways... glad to have stumbled on this channel... gnna look on your other vids... i have seen some, but this time im gnna look at everything youve got... thnx for the tips and tricks... pls keep it up!
I was aware of this but hadn't bothered until recent months, i saw another video point out a ransomeware protection setting which i had noticed before, decided to try it and stated running into program fuction locked out but not notifying me. Had an argument with the uploader for giving generic advice and not telling their viewers what these tools actually do or educating his viewers on day to day habits for security rather then just relying on tools provided by his sponsers.
i have years on my computer and allot of programs games etc...etc...what good is it to start that now? What i mean is this method would be good for new formatted computers/laptops right?/
What is the use of local account rather than administrator account???? I am now using administrator account. What account is preferred for use??? If I use local account, then Is there any options not available for me?????
1: Uninstall Wind-Blows 2: Unplug / disconnect from any and all networks 3: Physically DESTROY any (e-)SATA / USB etc ports on the machine. 4: Disconnect any internal optical drive (CD / DVD etc) Anyone that get's infected AFTER that needs to take one final step to fully protect their system 5: Permanently remove any / all power inputs to the machine at the same time physically destroying the corresponding power input socket on the machine. It's worth noting that after step 5, the frame rate on ANY game will be significantly affected to the point that the game becomes unplayable.
Great idea, thanks Brian! Just one problem here - when I run Computer Management there is no "Local Users and Groups" section. Is there a way of adding this? Thanks
Yes I have the same problems there is no Local Users and Groups section in Computer Management I’ve tried running Computer Management as an Administrator sill no joy. I am logged in as an admin and not a local account so I don’t understand. What am I doing wrong?
I think a good step to add is to make sure you first ensure that you are able to log in to your newly created Admin account before you downgrade your personal account to standard.
Thanks as always for a 'simple' security backup Brian, I also need to check I have all those 'spying' tabs off with recent MS updates they have likely been turned back on knowing MS? atvb t ..
Linux has been doing it this way for years if not forever. For me it would drive me nuts because of how I customise everything and the level of control I'm used to but for the average user this is actually a really great idea.
The one simple trick was not so simple. And I still do't get what it accomplishes. I think you should have done a brief summary of what this simple trick does and then showed us how you did it.
Try investing in decent anti virus/malware then you don't have to worry about "accounts". Microsoft has your back on this one with UAC anyway and despite what some people might say NEVER TURN UAC (User Account Control) OFF
Hi Brian I've been using this for a while now works great. I have corrupted the local account can I delete it and make a new one are there any steps I need to go through first. Thank you for your help.
This is unnecessary. Until Windows XP, people were neglecting to use the Standard (Limited) User account and logging on as an Administrator just to use their PC - a security risk. So in Vista, the UAC was implemented, which basically made the Administrator account function as a Standard (Limited) User account and display a popup every time Administrator privileges were required. This prevented the user from having to log into the Administrator account every time Administrator privileges were required, which is what this video appears to be advocating.
This is how macOS works! Thanks for this tutorial, but may I ask why don't you just use the built-in administrator account instead of creating a new one?
When I have created this additional account for myself, I then have to set everything up again for this new account in terms of design, favorite programs, games, desktop widgets and little helpers, e.g. "Translucent taskbar", wallpaper etc. as I did on my first original account also set up or is everything automatically taken over by the system or is there a trick for it? [Sorry, English isn`t my main, but I guess you know what I try to say.]

Britec, thank you for the video! Instead of creating a new Admin account, why not just activating the already existing Administrator account and protect it with a password? The standard user could then enter this Administrator's password to validate a new install or system change. I appreciate your answer. Thanks again!
Sweet thank you! You can also turn on in apps change the app install to windows store apps only(recommend)then you get a uac prompt Everytime it tries to install software. And you can click install anyway if it's legit.
