  1. Cannot start any program 'as administrator' - Windows 11 Pro


    When I try and run any program as administrator, the program just doesn't start. I have tried the following:1 Run cmd.exe as a new task from task manager, with Administrator Privileges. This works, and the CMD window opens as expected with the admin permissions.2 Checked UAC is set to: Notify me only when applications try to make changes to my computer default 3 Tried other UAC settings 4 Created a new local admin user - same issue 5 Run many malware scanners 6 sfc /scannow - no issues found7 dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth8 Boot into safe mode - same issue.Version: 10

    :)
