Windows 10: Admin account problems

Hello everyone,

I believe i have broken windows 10 user accounts. A few months ago i got bored of the constant UAC popups and decided to activate the Built-in Admin account and use it as my main account. I deleted my other account as i am the only user on this pc. Recently i was getting annoyed that the Built-in admin account cannot use certain apps (photo etc.). So i decided that i could put up with the annoying UAC and decided to switch back to a standard admin account. At first i created a Standard account and it worked great for the apps but i could not install apps or save to certain folders (C:/). So i upgraded it to Admin in the setting/accounts using the built in Admin. Now i had full admin rights, but i could not use the apps again. It seems i can either be Standard user or Built in Admin, but not the original Standard with Admin privileges.

Does anyone know, other than a reinstall how i can get back or create a new Admin account that can use all apps and have complete control of the PC, i am ok with the UAC.

Thanks for any advice.

:)

 

Local Account to Admin Account - Admin Unavailable

If system restore fails, and if the System File Check fails the most expeditious course of action will to just reinstall Windows 10 fresh. You could keep trying other avenues of course, but if you want to get back up and running sooner, rather than later
it might be best. Good luck!

 

Local Account to Admin Account - Admin Unavailable

The only change I am aware of was installing the software, but I had done that a number of months prior, and had actually successfully used it before without it locking up.

Here is what my main screen looks like:





Unfortunately, I can't capture the screen for when I try to make changes and require admin permission. However, that screen pops up as normal, except "yes" is not an option, and "no" is the only button I can select.

Let me know if more information would be helpful.

Thanks!
