This works for Windows XP right through to Windows 8. Some links in the article may not be viewable as you are using an AdBlocker. Here are some simple one liners that will enable you to change the Windows Update Status from the Command Line. If you have already updated and prefer to have an active Administrator account, you can re-activate it in Computer Management >Local Users and Groups > Users. Microsoft says they aim to release a fix in late January 2019, but in the meantime suggests users have more than one valid account with Administrator privileges when they update to the October 2018 Update.
This occurs during the upgrade process when there are already existing user accounts with Administrator privileges, but I expect this could cause issues if users delete such an account expecting the Administrator account to still be valid. Windows 10 comes with a built-in Administrator account which is disabled by default during setup, and it seems Microsoft hopes to keep it that way.Īccording to a blog post by Microsoft Taiwan, upgrading from the April 2018 Update to the October 2018 update will deactivate the Administrator account if it has been previously activated.
