Windows 10: Administrator permission denied

I have a laptop running Windows 10 with only one user (which is the administrator). Recently, I had to edit a file in System32 but once I tried to save the edits, I was told that I didn't have the permission to save in this location and that I would have to contact the administrator to obtain permissions. I did try adding my username in the security tab and ensured that all permissions were checked. But that didn't do the trick. I know this is a frequently cited issue but none of the solutions worked for me. Can someone help?

no administrator permission

Hi Ryan,

Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

• Type CMD on the search box.
• CMD will appear at top.
• Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
• Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
• After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
• On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
Net user administrator /active:no.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Permission denied

Hi,

The permission denied error normally appears if you are not using the admin account to run a specific program. To help us identify the appropriate solution to your concern, we'd like to ask for additional information. Kindly answer the following:

• Are you running the program as administrator when the error appeared?
• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
• Can you please show us a screenshot of the error message?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We hope to hear from you soon.

 

Administrative Permissions Denied

I'm running Win 10 on an Asus gaming laptop. I am the only user and I am the administrator. When I try to open some files, logs etc I get the message " You do not have permission to open this file. See the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain
permission." I have looked at the permission settings in Properties of some of these files and am unable to read, or change anything because I don't have permission. In User Accounts I am the only listed user/administrator. How do I re-set the permissions?
