    Can't run anthing as administrator "The request is not supported"


    Main Error:

    I recently have encountered a lot of problems with my windows 10 version Version: 20H2, OS build: 19042.804 but the most frustrating one is not being able to run anything as administrator, as you can see below there is only one account in my computer and it should have full administrator privileges yet it doesn't let me run anything as admin and instead throws me the error below.

    How can I run Android Studio as an Administrator for all Downloads?

    Hi James,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I suggest you to follow the below mentioned steps to install and run Android Studio as an administrator.



    1. Download the Android Studio from the recommended website.
    2. Once the download is completed locate the downloaded file.
    3. Right click on executable file (.exe) and Run as administrator to complete the installation.


    If you have any difficulty in install/run the Android Studio I suggest you to get in touch with the Android Studio support.



    If need further assistance in developing the applications/software, I suggest you to post your query in
    MSDN forums. We do have a dedicated support
    forums who are equipped with the resources to guide you in a right path.
