In Windows 10, a standard (non-administrator) user account is limited in the changes it can make to the computer. Which of the following actions can a standard user perform without entering administrator credentials?
Install a new device driver for the system-wide printer
Add the computer to an Active Directory domain
Enable BitLocker drive encryption on the OS volume
Change the desktop background for their own profile
Standard users may customize their own environment but cannot make system-wide changes. Personalizing the desktop background affects only the user's profile, so no elevation is required. Installing device drivers, enabling BitLocker, or joining a domain all change settings that affect the entire system and therefore demand administrative privileges.
