You might have observed that during Windows 11 or Windows 10 installation setup, when you complete the installation, Windows creates two additional user accounts that are hidden by default. One is a guest account, which is very limited, and the other is the administrator account. The difference between the created user account and the built-in user account is that the built-in account is an elevated account (administrator) and will not give UAC prompts.
Windows automatically generates this elevated, Super Administrator account which remains hidden by default owing to security reasons. The built-in Administrator account is usually used to troubleshoot Windows and therefore should only be used during troubleshooting. Unlike the normal Administrator account, this hidden by default or built-in Administrator account runs all programs and tools with admin rights by default.
We have seen how to create a new User Account in Windows. Today, I will show you a way to create a new hidden administrator user account on your Windows PC. It will work on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Create Hidden Administrator User Account in Windows 11/10
Copy-paste the following text in Notepad:
@echo off
net user hidden yourpassword /add
net localgroup Administrators hidden /add
Please note that in place of yourpassword, you have to enter your password. You may also replace hidden with a username of your choice.
When done, save this file as hidden.bat.
After that, open the saved file by right-clicking on it and choosing the option ‘Run as administrator’.
Instantly a command prompt window should appear on your computer screen, and your hidden administrator account will be created.
To verify the above step, open the command prompt and there type net users and press Enter.
You will find a new hidden account with complete administrator access is created in your Windows 11/10.
Now read: How to Create a Local Administrator Account. You can also create one using the command prompt.
yeah because adding an administrative group called “Windows Club” sounds totally secure and legit.
“Please note that you have to enter the password and name of the account, of your choice.”
What do I do if the only user account on my system (my main and only account) has the “Run as Administrator” option disabled? All the solutions I’ve read assume that I can login with an administrator account, but somehow my one and only account was “degraded” and has no administrative privileges. How can I start as an administrator if the only “administrator” account is the hidden administrator account and it is disabled?
I have the exact same problem, after activating, and then deactivating the hidden administrator account.
You have to be an administrator, or logged into the account you created when you setup the computer. That is logic. If you are just a “user”, then find the person that is the “admin” who initially setup the computer. It does not matter if the built in hidden admin account is disabled for this. If you are just a “user”, then to me it sounds like your trying to add a hidden account on a system that is not yours… Also any initial user on your system (One that setup the PC when you bought it) will be an admin automatically… Only a manually created “user” account (non-admin) would not have access. Means someone set it that way intentionally. So… if your operating from a “user” account, then again it sounds like your trying to gain access to something that’s not yours. Otherwise you would be a standard admin by default.
Same thing I mentioned to the other person with the same issue. You have to be an administrator, or logged into the account you created when you setup the computer. That is logic. If you are just a “user”, then find the person that is the “admin” who initially setup the computer. It does not matter if the built in hidden admin account is disabled for this.

Means someone set it that way intentionally. So… if your operating from a “user” account, then again it sounds like your trying to gain access to something that’s not yours. Otherwise you would be a standard admin by default.
Now I feel stupid, what parts should be replaced with the personal account info? I assume you should replace “password” with your desired password. But which is the account name? Is it “stupid trick” or perhaps “Windows Club”?
Unfortunately your commands do not work under Windows 10 because they contain several mistakes:
-> net user hidden password stupid trick /add
(incorrect syntax)
-> net local group Administrators Windows Club /add
(there can be no space between “local” and “group”.
The group name “Windows Club” must be surrounded by double quotes.
You do not seem to use the group name “Windows Club” anywhere.
I notice that you have corrected the syntax errors and removed the reference to “Windows Club”. Your recipe will now create a new admin account. However, it will not be hidden. It will be visible the same as any other account.
The most retarded article I have read, ever.
What you created is not a hidden account, it’s just another process of creating same account.
> net user hidden password stupid trick /add is the last command line to ever work on any platform in this world. I suggest you get some lessons on command lines first then try again.
