    I keep getting the "windows cannot access the specified device path or file you may not have appropriate permissions" pop-up every time I try to open something that need Admin privileges. If I go to properties of the file and try to change the privileges that won't work either, since to do that you need Administrator privileges. I can't run a virus scan, or use Windows Update Assistant. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I need to do a reset that's fine, as long as I can keep my files. I likely have a virus as my "smart" brother has been installing things on here. But can't check for one!

  2. Windows 10 won´t start any program as Administrator

    Hello. I´m having this issue since installed one of the latest Windows 10 system updates.

    When I try to open any program that requires Administrator confirmation (that screen with the Yes/No question), this dialog won´t appear anymore. The screen background stays darkened and nothing happens.

    1. Using Windows 10 Home (x64)
    2. My microsoft user account is properly checked
    3. I´m the administrator of the PC
    4. Already tried do create another administrator user account - same problem, no success
    5. Cannot start any program/service that requires administrator authorization (not even regedit)
    Please help!
