    Administrative priveledge


    I have W10, switched by Microsoft from my W7Pro.., I have a recent problem with privilege. I am the sole user. I am trying to install a purchased commercial program from both a download, and. USB Thumb drive and get the message I dont seem to have privileges to install it! I have tried to verify security settings, Run as administrator etc. but I am unable to gain the privilege it demands.
    I really need this installation to complete an expensive purchase!
    -Any suggestions??

    :)

    Help with Administrator Priveledges

    I'm trying to free up some space on my computer, but I can't do anything because I'm not an administrator, however, my account is listed as an administrator when I look it up. Please help.

    Administrative priveledge

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
