Windows 10: Administrator Designation

Have been the Administrator of my computer since its purchase 8 years ago. My Microsoft Account so indicates. All of a sudden I start to get this message when trying to access "Virus & Threat Protection" in Windows Defender Security Center. "Page not available. Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information". This comes along with an "OK button". When OK is selected, it takes me to the "Security at a Glance" page.


Going into the "Virus & threat protection" I can not turn on "Real time protection" which is OFF.


Any thoughts on how I can get the Administrator Designation on my account re-activated??


Thanks!!

You may be better off looking at the job descriptions for some of the businesses you wish to do the job for; as, some companies have varying duties and requirements.

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
