Windows 10: Administrator Rights Problem when Running Apps

I've been using Windows 10 for a few days now and everything was fine with admin rights: I could do whatever I wanted on the computer as an admin, and occasionally got UAC prompts when it was warranted.

However, yesterday I signed in with my Microsoft account for the first time, and now every app demands administrator rights: for example, when I launch HDD Guardian, it tells me: "Missed administrator rights! Some functions are not available and some data could be inaccurate." Similar problems happen with other benign apps like AIMP, etc.

I understand that for security, to do some things I need to run the app as an administrator, but this should not apply to all apps all the time, and indeed it wasn't the case before yesterday. Please help.

Nokia PC Suite 7 lost Nokia Software Updater link

Vista OS.

Run as Administrator.

Before running as administrator I clicked on the app and immediately received the "failed to start process" error. So I went to the folder, right clicked on the app, and chose Run as Administrator. No problem.

Also if I right clicked on PC Suite and chose Run as Administrator then all the apps within PC Suite will run without a problem. Not sure how to set the permissions so this does not have to be a manual process. Tried adding user, already an administrator, to
the userlist for the file but did not work.

 

im old and stupid

You might be old, but stupid? I see no evidence for that.

Run your app with Administrator permissions:

• right-click on the app
• select 'Run as administrator'
• enter the password for an Administrator account when prompted.
