    Is this with the latest builds of Windows 10, because I'm using the original build, and my account is set as "Administrator" and I can open Edge and Tiles. I just built a new system using build 1511 I think, and I set up a local account w/Admin rights. I keep getting an error that I "Can't open edge using the built-in admin account", but I'm not IN the admin account.

    Are you saying this is by design?

    Edge can't open using built-in Admin account

    I have it shut off with a 3rd party app, so this is the fix? I'll try that. I also have updates shut off the same way, I think it simply shuts off wuauserv. DO I have to have updates activated as well?

    That was it, I had UAC shut off. Damn,. they won't even allow us to disable nag screens. It works when the slider is at the bottom position, but it resets to position 2
