What are the differences between Standard and administrator accounts?

Standard accounts have limited permissions, allowing users to perform basic tasks such as running applications and managing personal settings, but they cannot install software or make system-wide changes. Administrator accounts, on the other hand, have elevated privileges that enable users to install software, change system settings, and manage other user accounts. This distinction helps maintain system security by preventing unauthorized changes and protecting critical system files. In general, it is recommended to use a standard account for daily activities to minimize security risks.
