  3. Admin Problems

    Hi Jack. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    There are two effective fixes for that issue. The first involves adding the User back to the Administrative group where it may have been lost. If that doesn't work then enable the Hidden Admin used only in emergencies to create a new User Account to replace
    the old one, moving files over before deleting it.

    First fix here:

    Second fix here:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    Admin problems

    Welcome to TenForums!

    Oh dear, you should never remove or demote the last admin account or you can never install anything ever again. Fortunately there's a built-in Administrator account. It's currently disabled, but this Tutorial tell you how to enable it. Then you can log in as Administrator and make your normal account an admin again. You need Option 4 here...

    For security, remember to disable the built-in Administrator account after you have finished using it.
