    Cortana not working due to not having admin rights, but I have confirmed admin rights.


    Hey everyone sorry if this is the incorrect place to post this but I've run out of options and have no idea what to do. I just got a Surface Book 2 and have logged into my Microsoft account just like on my desktop however on the Surface Book Cortana will take voice commands and text but will never show results. It just acts like its thinking about it. I activated the hidden admin account and it works fine on it as well as on my desktop. I have confirmed admin rights for my profile on the Surface Book and reverified and fixed a corrupted file but every troubleshooting I have found online short of a creating and running a recovery usb has come up short. Has anyone else dealt with this before and is the recovery usb the only thing else to try?

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

    No admin rights

    Downloaded as suggested on a USB. Tried to install but was blocked with no admin rights. Very frustrating.

    No admin rights

    Chose the free upgrade to Windows 10 and I was listed as the administrator. Tried downloading a printer disc but was denied admin access. Started fooling with my Admin acct, added a guest, changed mine to user and have lost all abilities to access anything
    that needs Admin. Won't allow me to: net user admin/activate:yes. Can't restore to previous point because I have no Admin access. Can't even use the admin command.

    With no new disc can't do a reinstall. Any suggestions. Very frustrated. Triedlusrmgr.msc. and it didn't work.
