1. Creating a Standard Account
When you create a user account on a Windows PC, you get to choose specific privileges and permissions for each user. For our purposes, we recommend you create a Standard User Account, and anyone using the machine through this account will not be able to install new apps unless they provide the administrator’s PIN code. Also, since this method is very basic, it works on Windows 11, 10, and older.
The first step is to access the “User Accounts” settings page, and the easiest way to do so is to press Win+R to launch the Run app, then type netplwiz and press Enter.
After the User Accounts window opens, click the “Add” button and select the “Sign in without a Microsoft account” option because creating a local account is more manageable and makes more sense in our situation.
A confirmation window will appear. Proceed by clicking the “Local Account” option.
Now, you need to set the name, the password, and the password hint. Note that you (or the concerned person) will need this to log in to the new account. After adding the information, click “Finish.”
Back in the User Accounts settings, you’ll see the newly created user. Click it to select it, then click the “Properties” icon. Finally, make sure that the user is a standard user.
After you restart your PC, you can log in to this new account. Alternatively, open the start menu and click on your photo to see the option to switch the user on Windows without restarting or signing out. Later, if the user tries to install a new app, they’ll be obligated to provide the administrator PIN code, which is typically your user password.
