Windows 10: Admin problems

I sign into windows normally with my pin but its not the full admin account, this is not usually a problem but since purchasing a faster wireless adapter that was driver free i found i could not install or use the wireless adapter unless i was in admin log in mode. The adapter worked for a while in normal log in but sometimes it wouldn't so i have had to switch to admin get it to log onto the router then switch back to normal. How can I log in as admin all the time with all my programs and features of my normal log in?

In user account it states my email address and says i'm an administrator but i'm not recognized as one and the wireless adapter doesn't recognize me as one.


grateful for any help please

admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

Hi guys,

I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
