Tried using task manager to run the lusrmgr as Admin, but "Run New Task" did not give me the option to run as administrator. I tried regedit - it comes up when it's searched for and will open as local user, but when you right click and "run as administrator" it says "could not find regedit.exe".
You can do this via command line! I just had this same issue and after searching and getting nothing but "you can't" from everywhere, I (for giggles and grins) tried this through the command line and IT WORKED!! Login to the PC as the Azure AD user you want to be a local admin. This gets the GUID onto the PC. Log out as that user and login as a local admin user. Open a command prompt as ...
netplwiz/lusrmgr is this normal/expected? So i had an odd issue crop up a few days back, I got one of those administrator prompts that said "An administrator blocked you from running this app, please contact blah blah"
Run Explorer as administrator, go to Windows/system32 and find lusrmgr.exe, right click and choose to create a shortcut, Windows will tell you it cannot create a shortcut in the directory and ask you whether you want it on your desktop. Say YES. Once on your desktop right click on it and choose run as administrator.
After that I double-checked that the Administrator account is disabled in lusrmgr.mscand not visible in netplwiz.exe, but I still keep getting the message in the first picture. What could be wrong? Any ideas? I really want to roll back to 8.1. windows windows-8
Windows 10 user and group management can be done in Settings > Accounts. In addition, user management can be done using Command Prompt, PowerShell, and in Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.exe, not available in Home edition). The easiest method to manage
If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, then it will not have Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) included in it. It's only available in the Pro and Enterprise editions instead.
One theory I have is, that if you run the user manager as a local admin it has difficulties to connect to AD and asks for a second user, this can be confusing, so maybe Microsoft decided to not encourage this?
To add a new user and group in Windows 10 Home I tried to do it using lusrmgr.msc on Run. Which works for many, but for my version of Windows10, I am able to add users only through control panel.
