    Wireless printer install blocked by administrator

    Added this command to "C: Users\owner>" (no quotes) and response was "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied" (no quotes). Suggestions, next step?

    Admin store blocked access

    here’s hoping this in the correct forum. Ah well here goes:

    Currently using Windows10 but have a problem
    Disk Management will not run - I get a message "An Administrator has block access...etc".
    So far have tried a number of Internet suggested solutions: Disable Smart Screen - no good. Ran SFC and DISM thinking may have corrupt system files - no good. followed a suggestion to edit UA setting in registry - useless, Did a repair install but even that does not make the problem go away. anything obvious i am missing or any other suggestions welcome. Thanks
