Windows user accounts let multiple people share a computer with private files, apps, and settings, or allow you to separate work from personal tasks. You can manage them through the Microsoft Support User Management Guide.
- Administrator: Has complete, full control over the computer, including installing software and changing system-wide settings.
- Standard User: Can use installed apps, browse the web, and save personal files, but cannot change core system settings or install software that affects other users.
- Local vs. Microsoft Account: A Microsoft account links your login to cloud services, email, and settings sync across devices, whereas a local account stays offline and strictly tied to that specific PC.
Quick Ways to View All Accounts on a PC
Using netplwiz: Press Windows + R, type netplwiz, and hit Enter to open the classic User Accounts panel.

How to Switch Between User Accounts
• From the Start Menu: Click the Start button, select your profile icon at the bottom (or side), and choose another user account from the list.
• From the Lock Screen: Press Windows + L to lock your PC, then select the desired user profile at the bottom-left corner of the screen and enter their password.
