    Administrative Privileges lost on my Windows 10 pc

    I returned from a business trip and I have lost all administrative privileges to my windows 10 p

    Not sure if it was hacked or the kids did it but all administrative privileges have been lost none the less.

    Step one, I reviewed all the information online on windows 8 and windows 10 similar situations.

    I tried them all, I have zero privileges to do any of them. I can not create a new account to add admin privileges to.

    I can not enable a hidden admin account to work with. I can not use command prompt to do anything related to admin privileges.

    I'm basically locked out of all programs dealing with administrative privileges. A app recently failed, and I had to download it again unfortunately, can download it without administrative privileges.

    Step two, accept that I can not do this alone and reach out to the community for help.

    Option 1 might work as well, if the administrator password was changed as of recent.
