    Administrator command prompt greyed out


    Hi guys, I just recently built a desktop computer it's running windows 10.
    the problem is there's only one account on it that's the administrator account that's me.
    I can run everything else as the administrator applications, settings, power shell ect.
    The administrator command prompt opens and the yes button works. But
    I can't type in it I just get beeps also the title administrator command prompt is greyed out.
    User command prompt works and power shell as administrator works too.
    I'd like to get the administrator command prompt working any help is appreciated.

    :)

  2. Linking Microsoft Account to my Local Account Caused me to Lose Administrator Access

    When I do this step, it has a pop-up asking for administrator permission to open up the command prompt. Whenever I get that pop-up (since I lost administrator access), the button to give it access is greyed-out and unclickable

    Administrator command prompt greyed out

    Use the keyboard to see if you can open administrator command prompt:
    Type:
    1) win + x (simultaneously)
    2) a
    3) alt + y (simultaneously)

    Once administrative command prompt is open type or copy and paste:
    1) sfc /scannow
    2) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    4) chkdsk /scan
    5) net user test /add
    6) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread7) shutdown /r
    8) sign on with the new user named test
    9) report into the thread whether the new user named test can or cannot launch or open administrative command prompt
