    Access Denied in elevated command prompt


    Hello everybody,


    I'm trying to run a simple command in an elevated Command Prompt that acts on a folder that resides on a secondary HDD. That drive and the entirety of its contents have my only machine's user account also the administrator set as the owner, as does C:\Windows\System32. I've set the UAC settings to their lowest setting, and I am not running any anti-virus or firewall other than Windows Defender.


    I have spent literally a total of about 4 hours trying to research the issue without any luck. The countless articles I've read on this board and elsewhere all offer similar solutions file/folder ownership settings, UAC, anti-virus/firewall interference, etc. and none have managed to successfully resolve the issue.


    If there happens to be anybody who is able to help I would be forever grateful. For those of you who might be curious, the command is as follows:


    python build45.py local45 Testing


    Thanks!

    :)

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

    net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

    Hi Rebekah,

    It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

    • Right-click the Start button.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
      Enter      . If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

    Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.

    Access Denied in elevated command prompt

    Open Elevated Command Prompt in Windows 10


    Hello Raven, Access Denied in elevated command prompt :)

    What is giving you the access denied message?

    When you try to open an elevated command prompt, or some command you are trying to run in an elevated command prompt?
