    My account no longer has admin privileges and should have


    I am trying to restore my computer to factory condition. For some reason, my windows user/account no longer has admin privileges on my personal laptop. I am unable to restore the computer or install programs or anything as it asks to approve the install or whatever but doesn't give me the option to hit YES or enter the admin creds which are my creds to login to laptop. I have tried reaching out to Dell and Windows Support. Dell informed me they cannot do anything bc they don't have authority to do so and Windows keeps transferring me to another agent and I am not able to reach anyone. Can so

    :)

    Need help with Admin privileges

    That's what puzzles me, I am logged-in as (my username) but still won't give me admin privileges. I checked under control panel/users amd it shows me as a local account. Tried to right click on CMD prompt but the "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" doesn't show up

    Admin accounts

    Yes.

    An admin, if they try to browse the user folder of any other user (standard or admin) will be told they don't have access, but will be offered permanent access if they wish by clicking Continue. You won't accidentally stumble across her files, but you could look for them if you were determined. Can she trust you (or can you trust yourself) not to click Continue?

    Even signed in as an admin, most of the time you are running processes or apps as a standard user anyway. Only when you try to do something that requires admin rights will you be asked (as in the folder example above) if you want to use your admin privileges. The 'harm' would be if you click 'Yes' on a UAC prompt before taking the time to think about what it is that you'd be allowing to run.
