On my PC I have Windows 10. Recently, when I start Windows I get (in the left lower corner in the sign-in screen) two options: the local user and Administrator. I have only used the local user option (with a password). Now whenever I restart Windows, the sign-in screen again displays the Administrator account. What may be the reason of this occurrence? How can I prevent the Administrator account from appearing on the sign-in screen whenever I restart Windows? Note: clicking on Setting > Account , the "USER" appears. Under it with My mail and "Administrator"

Thanks for your prompt answer First I tried the " Local Users and Groups" option: I got the remark: " This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 10....... use the User Accounts in the Control Panel" In the Control Panel both account icons appeared. - The USER (Local Account – Administrator) - The ADMINISTRATOR (Local Account – Administrator) When I click on the ADMINISTRATOR icon the options were only: Create a Password and Manage another account. i.e. no possibility to remove it. I used the Command Prompt option it worked. Now the Administrator “Account Active” say “No” I checked the User Accounts in the Control Panel, the Administrator icon disappeared Thanks again
you use windows 10 home? nevertheless the first created user on windows 10 setup has admin rights. for the groups - when assingning rights there exists "Administrator" which is exactly that account, or "Administrators" which summon any user with admin rights. for special usage i always add my username only, no other group. for password, it is important that any account has a password. seems strange but windows cannot be fully used if not set. eg: the task planer need some to create or modify tasks. tasks need verification. so for the internal admin account, it needs a password and your user too. when booting into winre you were asked for a password - no password, no luck. dont forget it to create users without user folder or ms account net user name password i use several user for different purpose without any profile folder. eg limited smartphone access without my real name. btw you are welcome
