Windows 10: Is this a virus?

Hello!

I have an unsual problem since getting my new laptop.
So, last week i bought a Lenovo Legion y570, i5 with 16 gb ram and a 500 gb ssd. It came with no OS, so i installed a copy of Windows 10 Pro build 1903 on it.
The problem manifests as it follows: occasionally, when installing some programs, it won't allow me to do so, stating that the .exe needs elevation. I am running an administrator account.
Furthermore, I explored security settings of the SSD, and it says that the owner of it is "TrustedInstall". Could that be the problem? I have changed ownership of the SSD to my username, then did the same with permissions, but i still get the "this executable needs elevation".

Being that i lost patience with it, I wiped the SSD and installed another copy of Windows 10, from a different source. I get the same "error".
What can I do?

:)
