Windows 10: Constnt Admin Permission to Do Anything

On my desktop running 1909 I don't have tis problem.


On two new fresh installs of 1909 on two new Dell laptops with the exact same UAC default setting as is on my desktop, I constantly get this trying to do almost anything in File Explorer.





Massive pain.

admin password?

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

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.

 

Admin rights

Well now you see my issue. I am restarting explorer with admin permission, but nothing changes. It still says I need admin permission when I try to do anything with the files.
