Windows 10: Cannot change region because "I need the computer administrator" even though I am the...

Hello. I recently sent my computer off to Dell to get my camera fixed and when it came back, some of the settings were messed up. When I sent it off to Dell, I created a new user for them to use that had administrator capabilities. Unfortunately, I deleted it before I realized the time zone was wrong. I have tried to change it in the settings from my original user but nothing happens and the region stays the same. I went into the additional settings and I get the error in the picture.





This would make sense if I were not the computer administrator, but I am. How can I change the region when it says I need the computer administrator even though I am the computer administrator?


Thanks in advance,

:)
