[SOLVED] I somehow made W10 Pro boot to Administrator Account.

I can't figure out how I can change the boot back to my user account. It must be doable but how?

switch user.

Go to the power button and chose restart, when the logon screen appears chose your User account. There are other ways, but this is the easiest. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7394-switch-user-windows-10-a.html

It can sometimes also do this if the main user is corrupted so if its not a simple matter of swapping users, if you can get into the normal user it might pay to create a new local user - link - and make it admin and while logged into normal user, copy the contents of C:/users/olduserfolder onto the C:/users/newuserfolder as that will give it full access to all programs on PC, no need to reinstall anything.
