To monitor processes with administrator privileges on Windows 10 effectively, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the applications you need to inspect and the system's default processes. For instance, if a system default application requires administrator privileges and you revoke them, the system may generate errors like Access Denied or No Permission.
How to Monitor Running Processes with Administrator Privileges on Windows 10
Step 1: Open Task Manager. You can right-click on the Taskbar, select Task Manager, or press Ctrl + Alt + Delete => choose Task Manager.
Step 2: In the Task Manager window, select the Detail tab.
Step 3: Right-click on any column header (e.g., Name, PID...) and select Select Column.
Step 4: In the management window that appears, check the boxes next to Elevated and UAC virtualization.
Step 5: The Detail window in Task Manager now displays two additional columns: Elevated and UAC virtualization.
Elevated Column: The status, either Yes or No, indicates whether the process is running with Administrator privileges or not.
UAC virtualization Column:
- Not allowed: Similar to Yes in the Elevated column, it means the process is running with Administrator privileges.
- Enable and Disable: Indicates whether UAC is currently allowed or disallowed.
Above is a guide on how to view processes running with Administrator privileges on Windows 10. However, built-in software in Windows 10 still has many limitations, lacking completeness and detail compared to third-party software like Process Explorer. With Process Explorer, you can delve deeper into system processes.
In addition, if the account being used on Windows 10 is not an Administrator account, you can learn how to enable the Admin account to access all privileges on Windows 10.
