In my tests, I didn't see any difference between checking or unchecking the Switch to Admin checkbox on Build core plugins Main Interface page.
At least in running XPE Win10 x64 live systems... When this option checked, the boot process is
a little bit longer. So is it necessary to check Switch to Admin checkbox or not?

Internet Explorer requires Admin account for downloads to work.
Also screen resolution is different, it is to low if Admin account is not enabled.

I also recommend using the administrator account. Teamviewer is another example, where administrator account is needed (for the newest version). I think version 6 runs fine without admin, all later releases do not work properly with just the system account.

As it only adds a few seconds to the startup process, I decided to make it default with no wait time.

Hi Oscar and PetePossum,
I will check it also. And make the countdown 0 so that the boot process would take just a few seconds more.
