If you are like most users, it is likely that you are logged-in to your main Non-Admin Account most of the times and use the Admin Account only when it becomes necessary.
This often result in users logged into Non-Admin Accounts being unable to access certain functions in the Task Manager due to lack of Admin Privileges.
When this happens, most users tend to logout from their current User Accounts and try to complete the required tasks by going to the Admin Account.
