Hello @ShameehaFarook-6499

The Local Users and Groups is only available in the Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions. And you must be signed in as an administrator to add or remove users from groups.

What’s the OS version of your PC? Please type winver in cmd, and take a screenshot of it.


1). You could try oprtion 3 mention in this tutorial: To Add a Local Account in netplwiz

2). or Add User to Group in Command Prompt: net localgroup "Group" "User" /add

3). This Snap-in May Not Be Used With This Edition Of Windows


Best Regards

Hi @ShameehaFarook-6499

I am assuming you are not able to see the option "Family and other people" to add other accounts. If my understanding is correct please see below thread, checkout last post from thread.
