One of the essential components in Windows 10 is the user since without it there would be no way to access the system, configure applications and carry out the routine tasks of the system worse something that we should know in detail is that Windows 10 provides us with different types of user , these are:
Default account
These are default local user accounts which are integrated into the system and are created at the time of the installation of Windows 10, these accounts cannot be deleted and do not offer access to network resources.
These default local user accounts have been integrated to facilitate the administration of access to local server resources based on the permissions assigned to the account and these accounts are hosted in the Users folder.
Administrator account
It is a default local administrator account which is created as a user account for the operating system administrator with special permissions, this is the first account created during the installation of Windows 10 and is of great responsibility and care since She has full control of the files, directories, services and other resources available locally on the computer and this is an account that cannot be deleted or blocked but does allow her name to be edited or disabled.
