Windows 10: Administrator Account Dumbed Down in Win10

Thanks everyone for your ideas.

While logged in as true administrator the rt-click delete function on some menu items didn't work, I was able to at least remove them from all user menus using Explorer. Not what I want but an OK bandage.

Still playing with other stuff.

Regards,

 

So you want "GOD mode" for 10? I know its possible for 7

this works for 10 at this moment ( free download of shortcut for GOD mode )
Truth Behind Hidden Secret ?God Mode? (aka Master Control Panel) Found in Windows 7 - AskVG

 

i can see why most of the programs are disabled but i cannot change my screen preferences or even get into settings in administrator. what the hell is it there for if i cannot run administrative tasks in?! right now i am having a problem with updates... i am getting errors. one suggestion was to update in the admin but i cannot even go into settings! security is great but usability is also necessary or the os is useless. i too hated win 8 and did not keep it on any of my machines. so far, i am not impressed with win10. frankly, windows has been increasingly going the way of apple and trying to cater to the most ignorant of users. or maybe i am getting old. i liked 2000, xp, and 7 but ms lost me after that! i was hoping 10 would be great but it looks like they are going for 2 duds in a row. usually they only have duds every other os like ME, vista, and 8 so i was looking forward to 10 but of all the other ms os that i have tested since nt days, i have yet so have as may problems as with 10.

 

just bought a new laptop, a very expensive one, seems im stuck with 8.1, i tried to downgrade to win7. no way was it going to let me
so 'upgraded' to win10

so frustrating
*Banghead

looks like ill never get 10 to work as i want it
if i cant go back to 7, and this new gaming laptop will go back to shop

ill buy a macbook pro and a playstation

you dont need to **** with the settings on apple....it just works

 

not sure if this helps


:
Person 1: Did you know Windows 7 and later contain a hidden secret "God Mode"?
Person 2: (Surprised...) Really? I didn't. Can you please let me know how to access it?
Person 1: Sure. Just create a new folder anywhere in Windows. You can create it on Desktop or within Windows Explorer and give it following name:
God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}Voilla. Now you'll have access to all Control Panel settings page in a single place

 

You might need to change the BIOS settings so that the computer starts in legacy BIOS mode before you attempt the downgrade.

 

Here's an interesting article on downgrading from win8 to win7..

And if you like.. then get a Mac/Apple. *Wink

 

wmic useraccount list full
shows following info.






Note: have set UAC to lowest.

Just wonder about the differences (if any) betweeen #1 and #4.
Why hasn't number 1 been used. If my memory serves me well, that was the case in Windows 7 (?)

Secpol.msc ->Security Options -> Accounts: Administrator accounts... is set to 'Disabled' in my case.
Shouldn't I set it to 'Enabled'?

Thanks.

Dears, I've JUST created an account member in this forum to thank you ALL by this posts. As someone told that the first reply could be a joke either if the member is a respected one, I would tell you only that probably I took the idea of the post. We use third part apps at the university's lab that cannot have their data communication be interrupted by updates of a lot of nonsense apps like one note, games, etc. So, we must decide what type of update is acceptable to run with a NASTRAN/PATRAN or ANSYS software, for instance. So, I'M THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR THIS POST. I'VE COPIED IT AND I'LL SHARE IT WITH MY COLLEAGUES, AND YOUR ALL AVATARS / NAMES WILL REMAIN IN THE TEXT. I was forced to downgrade my machine to Win 7 to be able to configure the all permissions and use these applications. My best regards for all.

 

hi, I am super new to the forum and am dealing with the issue as well.
My ex upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and now I as well cannot open the camera or other daily used apps because I am in administration mode.

Can somebody please break it down for me how to get out of this mode?
Step by step because just reading general tips isn't really working for me, and it would be very much appreciated.

Also the files I have saved to administrator mode, will they transfer over if I have to switch to another mode?
I am not sure how this works.

 

Ok, I'm an "administrator" (my user is in the Administrator group)
I did the secpol.msc "user account control admin..." ENABLE, and the '1' on registry EnableLUA, and I'm still getting "This app can't open...". Plus, I still can't kill windows.old.

The "old windows" doesn't show up on Disk Cleanup, and I need to clean that junk off before I can take a disk image prior to loading up to run Windows 10. Apparently this crippled security prevents me from actually "owning" the windows.old tree, so I've got 17GB eaten by it that I can't remove. I figured, hey, maybe it's a time thing and that's why I tried to change the date. Now after following half a dozen wild goose chase threads, I'm six hours into a 15 second operation because someone at Microsoft has a control fetish.

Is there any way anyone has found to SEE THE BACK of this "protection scheme" once and for all? I understand this "behavior" was grandfathered from one of the worst binary abortions every conceived, but that's not really a fix. *Smile

None of this even slows down hackers or virus authors! They have 100% unfettered access to every byte on the disk -- it's just a huge inconvenience to users. But enough of the obvious. My choices are Win10 or Linux now that Win 7 updates have been torpedoed, so forge ahead. But I've been at this since before DOS and I don't need their (non) help!

So any links to the "FINAL SOLUTION"? Thanks!
