- Make Windows 11 More Secure
When it comes to Windows 10 and Windows 11 security, its pretty good. But it could be even better with this one simple trick. By default, windows runs as administrator and this is not good for security. You want to be running as a standard user and have administrator account as the boss to what installs and want don't on your computer. This give maximum protection to your pc against malware, viruses and malware. A Standard User Account is more secure and recommended for everyday tasks. Standard Account, is a extra level of protection that keep your system secure from easy attacks

So do you use a standard account? Drop us a LIKE 👍
your britec account password was rock cause the hint was paper
1) You didn't make any mention of User Account Control which does offer protection for user accounts with elevated privileges! You could have enabled the built-in Administrator account by right-clicking on the account in the Computer Management console and clicking on properties! Why use the Computer Management console to set the password of the built-in Administrator account and use the command prompt to enable the account? You could've shown both methods: using the Computer Management console to enable and set the password, and using the command prompt to do the both (activate and set password)!
What good is generic security advice without a strategy?
Its pointless for the majority of users to run as a standard user! The majority of users will provide administrator credentials to apps that they trust without verifying the source! If a standard user as an example downloads a piece of malware or ransomware under the false pretense (bundled and branded as an app or software), they will allow the app to run as administrator and provide the password to the admin account, which would defeat the purpose of the generic security advice offered in this video!
@@DurandArthur I have to agree with this.
You should never enable the default local administrator of a pc.
Instead you should create a additional user with admin rights that you only use when elavated admin rights is needed.
Enabling default administrator is a security risk.
No thanks ... the less windows bugs me with having to input things and answer questions the happier I am ....
Standard accounts means nothing if the stupid user is gonna click something and still fill in the password to let it run, just like he would with an admin account.
Hence why way is so successful at infecting computers, because people are not using the security features that keep them safe and malware creators know this.
You have a very pleasant voice! Thanks for the tips -- you have a new sub -- take care and have a wonderful day!
Can Standard User Account for use gaming, daily basic task, streaming & more ?
Amazing I've been doing it wrong this whole time thank you so much for this video I appreciate it
I think this is sensible security.
Another way is to set the policy to force UAC to request a password
sensible security is correct
I think I missed something here. Can you explain? The other day, I set up a friends, Windows 11 computer. Based on your video, is that person logged in now as administrator and I didn’t know it? I tried to follow your video, but I couldn’t figure out how to check this. How does one confirm this and correct this?
It is an absolute pain, stops loads of stuff running and programs have to be reinstalled for different accounts.
Great videos as always. This is very helpful. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
turn UAC to max if you visit non trusted web sites, and install always ask if you do.
So what do I do if I really need to do some Administrator actions - like renaming, deleting etc. some files or folders - which is pretty mundane activity ?
Thank you so much....macfree pop ups are coming frequently and showing trojan virus detected, system is in danger ... Update your macfree (below site given) etc.... What to do... What does it means... Need assistance..it will be very helpful.... Wish you the success 👍
do one better make it so you can't login. since if you can't use the pc theres no way your geting malware or geting hacked right?
Which version of 11 is this for? I have Home Edition and when I opened Computer Management I could not find Local Users and Groups.
Great Content Britec09.
Thanks
Brian I am a little confused by the video so I have it right does this mean that everything I run for example regedit, command prompt, system settings, and apps or programs already installed etc etc I will be prompted to run as the "dedicated" administrator?? as this looks to me to become a long-winded and time-consuming process. I see your point on stopping any crap from installing on my machines (does this apply for Windows 10 machines too??) but don't want to get caught by having to ok everything I want to do?? Is there any way of doing this via a Windows Settings area?
One off my favorite settings in Linux. :D Sudo all the way there. :D
Great technique
Great instructional video. Will I lose access to all my current downloaded programs that I have already installed? Does it change your Microsoft settings like passwords etc in any way? I'm not an IT guy - but think I would like to try this, Thanks
Once set up, everything you want to make changes to windows or install programs, it will prompt you to do so.
I thought the premise of 11was "UBER security"
to be clear, this is important. However as described in this video it doesn't follow the steps as shown in here. Windows 11 home here. Before I would attempt messing with an admins credentials I would need to be sure of what I am doing and this video while helpful doesn't show me exactly what steps to take. Firstly it doesn't show how to get to the admin account to begin with. Oh this video shows how to on the example machine but on mine no it doesn't. After hunting around it does show me how to add another user account but how to change the admin one to local user no it doesn't. Bingo at that point all changes came to a halt...
1:03 I don't have this entry: Computer Management > Local users and groups. Why?
I have error :trouble connecting to beacon service in lobby when i join matchmaking
Pls help
This is how I run my PC except that I leave the built in administrator account disabled and create a new admin. The result is the same. Hackers look for the built in admin account as an attack vector. Best not to use it. Even better, rename it and change the description.
you basicly made windows act like linux, GOOD JOB!
Hi Britec! Do you know if their is a way to stop the uac from asking for password when like checking the task manager etc. I only need the uac to ask for password when downloading/installing programs from the internet.
I cant find the option of local users and groups in the computer management dialoguebox
Sometimes this is a little unreliable because there are apps I have that won’t run properly without me being admin
Well you have to question what apps they are and why they need admin rights to run
Brian I have lost my admin password so how do I get back my old settings?
You can also use Windows 11 S Mode.
Does this apply standard user account for Mac OS & Linux ?
THIS LOOKS REALLY SO DAMN GOOD TO ME FOLKS.
can we rename the Administrator? many thanks
Good video, but I couldn’t find user account’s
Thinking about, maybe the System32 prank would never have happened if Windows was factory configured to ask for the current user's password every time a system file is selected, and not prompt you with a basic warning like "oh you double sure bro?", because most enticed were young ones that probably had to request their parents for the PW. Sick.
Hi! How do I revert back to old settings? It wont let me even update drivers from the local account. It is very inconvenient to login into admin account everytime I update drivers.
But you can just turn UAC to maximum on the Admin account? This does the same as having a separate account. It forces you to need to click to install any software.
I tried this but it caused issues as I could not make registry changes and other changes I needed. I keep having to go back to the Administrator and changing the normal account back to Administrator. It is also messy having two accounts.
Are you sure this is necessary for a single user on a computer with UAC set to maximum?
Do you need to do this on Windows 11 Home Edition, which doesn't have access to the Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) feature?
Another video recommends using one user's github file called "lusrmgr.exe" to remedy the lack of lusrmgr.msc function on Windows 11 Home, but I don't trust foreign executables...
Imagine like, setup Standard User Account with Parental Control for school, work & internet cafe computer
Eu estava procurando justamente isso ai
If anyone has nvidia roll back drivers to 497.09 because the new drivers have been crashing pcs and no one on youtube is talking about it. Reddit and Britec have been the only places to find fixes, if you are getting black screens memory error issues and you have nvidia roll back to older drivers it's most likely not windows11 it's nvidia themselves.
Thanks for this video Brian very interesting. I have note my Admin. Account (which is a Microsoft Acc.)
is password protected - would this surficed or should i open local account as you explained? Thanks
Does anything with these steps change if you have a Microsoft Account associated with your PC that has a password and uses Windows Hello?
I just tried to set this up I don't have the users and groups in my computer management I'm guessing it's because I have home?
Good question 😊 @Britec09 is thinking 🤔
However, 95% home users not using the standard account.
You can still use a Standard account and should be using a Standard account for security reasons.
standard account is the way to go.
@@GaryBeltz Yea, that's not available in the home ed :/.. but ya should be able to do it with the NET command.. eg. net user administrator /active:yes.. and so forth..
That "wiper malware" Is the new bad Guy,It would be interesting talking about It thanks for your video.
The PC Security Channel made a video about this, and a standard account unfortunately doesn't stop any ransomware/malware from running and doing harm :/
All sounds good but on my Win 11 home, I cant find all this stuff. Im sure it is somewhere but I think your win 11 is a pro edition and its different.
I was trying to this in my last windows installation, so I find it funny to see this video right now. The only issue with this setup I encounter is that some softwares like afterburner won't startup on launch, but that can create it's own set of problems to resolve.
They probably like admin rights to run
@@Britec09 Definitely, I just wished there is a way for software to run without adding another security hole at launch, but so far I see, I doubt there is such method.
You don't have to Enable de Administrator account. Just set a password for it, and then you can still use it for RunAs, as well as for logging into Safe Mode. If you enable it, might as well rename it for security reasons, because "administrator" is very commonly used. I prefer un_adm for my business PCs.
make sure of pw or you will do a me and not be able to login to admin account but we can reset it lol :)
Good for a family PC so only you can install the software therefor you have control over the system
Yeah, great security setup
Amazing one. Thanks For your help
There is actually a feature in Apps and Features - Choose Where to get apps.
There are 4 options.
1. Anywhere
2. Anywhere, but let me know if there is a comparable app in the Microsoft Store.
3. Anywhere, but warn me before I install an app that is not from the Microsoft Store
4. The Microsoft Store Only (Recommended)
I chose option 3.
This way, no matter what software I install, if it is not from Microsoft Store there will be a window popping up warning me, and asking me if I wish to proceed.
That is correct
i forgot the OS existed lol
Windows 11 is OK
Now malware comes with software installation and via internet. How can passwords can stop bugs and malwares from entering your computer?
Malware needs permissions to run
I love how we have to type search to get to control panel. They couldn't have added it to a right click on start?
I pin the control panel to the taskbar, so it's always ready to go. But you can pin it to start.
Another good video idea is how to move account information data and setting between two different accounts
Yeah, its more secure
UAC (by default) is already designed to warn the user whenever you try to run a program as administrator. Granted there are ways to bypass UAC and this method sure is more secure, but consider this:
In Windows 7 UAC was more aggressive with it's warnings, people got so pissed off about "having to click yes for every action", that they toned it down for Win 8, 10 and 11.
This method adds password entry to that confirmation, and I think average user will become pissed off much faster at this.
I know that security and convenience are on different sides, but if people get tired and just click Yes on UAC prompts, password entry won't help them much.
And as for ransomware, there are controlled folder access and core isolation nobody uses.
If you use this in conjunction with other security settings and software.
They toned it down in Windows 10? I get 100x more UAC popups running 10 on a standard account than I did on 7 lol. One more (of billions) reason why 7 is superior to the gutter trash that is Windows 10 (and 11).
@@jakobfel2 gutter trash? seems a little dramatic.
@@michaelandrews4783 Not really. Some ideas that 10 has are great (I absolutely LOVE the new start menu, for example) but by and large, I would much rather have used 7 for the rest of my days if not for the security issues and the incompatible software that became an issue after MS ended support.
Top video, how to and why, sweeps avay the "mystery" cheers 👍
Thanks 👍
I think this is total overkill. I don't use a password on my PC. It reboots straight to the desktop and that's how I like it.
one click of a ransomware file and its done
@@Britec09 It's never going to happen. But if it did I'd just wipe the drives, clear the CMOS, and reinstall everything. No big deal.
Every day you learn something new.
Yes sir
Extremely helpful video, thank you sir.
You are welcome
if i install game in steam or origin, do I need to sign in with user control password ?
with UAC set this high, If you install a game, it will need admin permission to do so.
@@Britec09 ok
good video.
Thanks for the visit
Thanks this is very helpful. I've always wanted to run a user account for security but I never got around looking up how to do it.
It's working similarly like my Linux install now
That is correct.
Its very secure.
While I generally think this is a good practice, I am simply amazed that people run into issues that make something like this necessary. I personally don't like trading convenience for security, nor do I need it, I understand the value in this security method. I may be part of an extreme minority of folks who are perfectly fine and secure running and using a PC with its default security settings. I just never have these problems though this is a good video for folks who need it.
Good one Brian. Thank you.
Very welcome
Isn’t more secure , is only more open for Microsoft to search your PC .
Don't be silly
Pinned It Right Now
Is this Pinned It a new RUclips trend like I'm early
very useful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
