So, without any further ado, let’s get started.
If you are a windows user, then this tip will really help you to secure your computer from
the virus or malware that would come along with an unwanted software that executes itself
without your permission.
This tip is not the ultimate solution to make your windows computer virus free but helps
to reduce the risk.
So, moving further, first of all, login to your Windows Computer then choose settings.
Here at the Windows settings, click on Accounts and there you will see that my account is
a Microsoft account and the type of this account is administrator.
The First step you should do, to protect your computer is to change the Microsoft account
to local account and then the administrator type to standard type.
To do that, choose ‘Sign in with a local account instead’ then follow the onscreen
instructions to make your online account to local windows account.
Please make sure to save your work as you need to signout from the current session to
make these changes.
Now, change the account privileges from the administrator type to standard type.
To do that, open settings then choose Accounts.
Here you need to add another user with the administrative rights, so that you can make
the primary account as standard type.
Let me create an account by moving to ‘Family & Other users’ then choose ‘Add someone
else to this PC’ then choose ‘I don’t have this person’s sign-in information’
then ‘Add a user without a Microsoft account’ and then enter the required information like
username, password and answer the security questions.
Once you’re done, you will have the local account created as a standard type.
Now, you need to change the newly created account to administrator.
To do that, choose the account then click on ‘Change account type’ then here select
‘Administrator’ as the account type.
Now signout from the current user account to change the primary user account to standard
type which is here the user saipraveen.
To do that, click on the Windows icon then choose signout then select the newly created
administrator account.
In my case it is TechEmpty.
Once you setup the new user, go to Settings then Accounts then Family & other users.
Here change the account type of saipraveen to the Standard from the Administrator.
You did it.
Now signout and login back to the primary user account and try to install any executable
file or software.
When you do that, Windows will prompt you to enter the password of the Adminstrator
account which is here TechEmpty.
Without entering the password, the file won’t be installed on your Windows computer.
This is extremely helpful when the virus tries to execute any indoor tools or software that
takes control over your PC without your concern.
That’s it for this quick video.
