Windows 10: Deleted administrative users, locked out from EVERYTHING.

Hello,

I was tired of being locked out of the files on my own computer, so I deleted all the administrative users except from one that I gave full access to, thinking it would let me access all content without giving admin's approval.


I have tried all 7 options in this ''how to fix'' guide: How to fix ‘This file does not have a program associated with it’ error? - Auslogics blog


But whenever I try a way to fix this issue, I keep getting told ''This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an associated in the default apps settings page.


I hope some computer GOD is able to help me.

:)

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to enable built in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile and check if the issue persist.

• 
  Open a CMD window by right clicking on the Start icon, and selecting
  Command prompt (Admin).
  

• 
  Type the following command: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.
  
• 
  Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.
  
• 
  Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in as the Administrator account.
  

Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command: net user administrator /active: no
in the Command prompt (Admin).

To create a new user account follow the steps below:

• 
  On the Search bar type cmd and
  press ctrl + shift + Enter on the keyboard to open the Elevated
  Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type net user NewAccount password /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click Enter.
