  1. Windows 10 Start Windows 10 in Administrator Mode

    I am the only person using my PC in my study. My wife & kid (and cats) never use it. They have their own tools/toys. Instead of continually being prompted for admin permission to perform tasks or run various programs, is it possible to get Windows 10 to boot up already in Admin mode?

    Windows 7 Resume Windows Straight to Desktop

    Hi, I just bought a new ultrabook and I love its SSD and instant-resume. What I don't love, is that it instantly resumes to the login screen. I have only a single user account, with no password associated with it, and yet I'm still unable to find a way for my computer to skip the login screen...
