Is it possible to restrict the administrator account login times?

This is my first post on this forum, which I found by Googling.

I have several family PCs at home forwhich I am the administrator, all running Windows 10.

I have strange request. I would like to restrict administrator access to the PCs to certain times of the day, namely evenings. Is this possible? I'm aware of the net user <user-name> /time command, to restrict access to user accounts. Can I do something similar for the administrator account?

    Regarding your question: Windows 10's built-in user management tools, like the net user <username> /time command, generally apply to standard user accounts and not to the built-in Administrator account. The Administrator account is a special account with elevated privileges, and Windows doesn't natively support scheduling or time restrictions specifically for it using simple commands.
