    Hi James,

    Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Please provide us the following information:

    • Are you logged in using Local account\ Administrator account?

    I suggest you to refer to the suggestion by Ravi.Shankar from the following link.

    Windows 8 says i need administrator permission to install a driver but i am the adminsistrator

    (Note: Steps applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Administrator authority

    Prof Svc service failed to sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded. Only 1 user on system and it had administrator authority. This was an updated Windows 10 install over an existing Windows 7. There is an Administrator profile under Users but it never
    appears in ability to login. No windows updates have been installed for several months. Updates repeatedly have failed - probably due to no admin authority. I've seen references to several different options- what's my best course of action. I prefer NOT
    to install a fresh windows install if it means I have to install all the existing programs.

    Administrator Authority

    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
