And if you install a program with a standard user account, it will ask for the admin user account password.

And if you have problems with admin account privileges, your installation of windows has some problem. But not due to "secret" stuff or whatever.
There is also a "built-in" administrator 'available'. You do things your way & I do it my way. My accounts have 'always' been as an "administrator", unlike in unix/linux where I can do "sudo" or become "root". I even disabled the login & password when starting the computers as I am the only person in my home.

The "built-in" administrator is hidden; found about the "built-in" administrator after some searching. I also found I am unable to even change my win 10 user account from 'administrator' to 'standard'.
