    Can't run programs requiring administrator privileges


    Hello. I'm using Windows 10 on my computer and a few weeks ago I started having problems running certain programs and tasks. I noticed today that anything requiring administrator privileges, such as certain programs, installing or removing programs, or even a system restore will not run. When I try, the computer sits idle for 2-3 minutes and then says "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." I haven't been able to find a solutions to this issue anywhere else online. The only suggestions I've found for similar problems involve running maintenance tasks (which won't run) or editing the registry (which I also can't do). Any other suggestions?

    Windows 10 AU no longer lets me install software

    Again, I can't run anything that requires administrator privileges.

    I'm sorry but I can't run Filemon even if I have administrator privilege, when I try to run the program "Your account does not have the Debug Programs privilege, which is requested to run Filemon".

    I tried to disconnect and connect as administrator but always got the same message.

    Can't run programs requiring administrator privileges

    Hello Ruin350 and welcome to Ten Forums. Sorry for the delayed response. I just noticed your post.

    If you can access an elevated command prompt try running a System File Checker scan. This scan will search for and attempt to repair/replace damaged system files.

    From your desktop, click and hold the Windows Key (lower left on keyboard, looks like the Windows flag) and at the same time click the X key. You should see a menu appear on left side of screen. About halfway down is Command Prompt (Admin). Click on that and a new screen should open (black background, white letters.) At the flashing cursor type in the following: sfc /scannow and click Enter. (Note the space between sfc and /scannow.) The scan will begin and take a fairly long time to complete (about 20 minutes on my computer.) Please post back the results of the scan.
