    Cannot run a program from an Administrator account

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    • Have you tried with other programs?
    • Is this issue confined only with particular app\program?
    I suggest you to check with other apps\programs and let us know with the result.

    Also enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:

    net user administrator /active:yes

    Note: Disable the account by running the following command after troubleshooting the issue:

    net user administrator /active:no

    Once you have enabled the account, you will see it listed in the user accounts control panel applet. Note that the account has not assigned a password to it, and that you should consider setting one to improve account security.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Program will run in one account but not the other


    Hi, suggests some kind of conflict.. what's the difference between processes and services running and startups between the two accounts? Or sthg missing needed for the program to run.

    Is there a clue in the event log?

    Does logging into the administrator account and running anything run all the programs...

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
