A defensive mix-up gifted County a second on 31 minutes as Conor Grant pounced on the loose ball, sending Keanan Bennetts clear and he fired home.
The Magpies dominated although goalkeeper James Belshaw did have to tip over a Shaun Whalley strike just before half-time.
County continued to press after the re-start, Wright pushing out a Lewis Macari close-range header.
Around the hour mark, Stanley did have two decent chances with Paddy Madden's strike saved and Whalley's effort just wide.
However, County were in charge and made it three on 68 minutes with Grant's strike initially saved by Wright but the midfielder fired home the rebound.
Two substitutes combined on 83 minutes with Alassana Jatta squaring for Tyrese Hall for the fourth.
