Question How can I make Windows 11 more like Linux in the sense that Linux asks for root privileges whenever I install something ?

I would like to do the same on my Windows 11 installation, to prompt me for my pin or password whenever I want to install something or do something weirder, just for security. Where I work, this is already so, you can't install anything, or even acces some settings, without having the admin password. How can I do the same?

Thanks a lot, that seems to be what I am looking for, but I have Windows 11 Home and this version seems to lack this feature set. I'll upgrade with the next install prob. Thanks!

Simple.

Create a new user, local Standard. Use that for your day to day operations.

Anytime you want to install something, it WILL ask for the password of the admin account.
All my systems are like this. The Local Standard user is the daily driver account.
Admin user is only used for actual admin things.
