    cannot run as admin


    For several months I have NOT been able to run anything as admin. If I search for "cmd", right-click it in the search results and select run as admin nothing happens. If I select "run" a CMD window will open.


    If I boot to safemode still I cannot run as admin.


    At C:\Users\jgt\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3 I found two shortcuts for the CMD window. One will open a window that is NOT as admin and the other will open cmd window as ADMIN. I copied the 2nd to my desktop, currently, this is the only way I can get a CMD window as admin. If I want to run any other commands as ADMIN, right-clicking on the command and selecting "Run as Admin" does NOT work.


    I have a home PC, win10 x64 v 1909, build 18363.657


    I've searched the internet for a solution, found tons of suggestions, none of which resolved the issue for me.

    I'm the only user on my PC and I have admin rights.

    running DOS as ADMIN

    I assume you don't have 'exit' anywhere in your batch file?

    Rather than playing with 'pause' - if you want to see the output...

    1. Open a command window as admin
    2. Run the batch file manually
    3. Command window will not close unless the 'exit' command is issued
    4. Read output
    That's the first step I'd take to diagnose. Then run every line in your batch file manually, one-by-one, in your admin command window (copy and paste from the actual batch file, don't retype the commands).

    You'll soon find your problem.

    You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
