Windows 10: Execute as administrator issue.

Hello.
I'am on windows 10 pro 14393.222
And my win 10 account is set as administrator since the begining and never had such issues in the past.

Since a while i have some issues with the win 10 cumulative updates that block at 99% ( the KB3194798 & KB3197954 ) I asked for some help on the microsoft community forum thing about that.
I had do try somes "basic" thing like clean reboot / sfc /scannow - the DISM thing

Then i was asked to "reinitialize" winupdate with that .bat
@echo off
echo Reminder: This must be run from an elevated command prompt!
pause
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
pause


After that ( and a reboot ) i wasnt able anymore to open the gpedit.msc ( i had to go disable theEnableLUA thing in the registery, thing i never had to do )

And now i cant start as admin things like cmd - powershell etc... anymore
Well more precisely, it doesnt work when i do that on the shortcut ( thoses pined in the start menu as exemple )
But if do that directly on the .exe, like if i go to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe the execute as admin work...


Anyone have any idea why i have this "bug" ? and how can i do to solve that ? that's kinda very annoying.
( i even tried, just in case, to create another admin account, and same issue )

thanks !

:)

 

Issue as Administrator

(1) Hold SHIFT, as you click "Restart".

This should boot to the Recovery Environment at the "Choose an option" screen.

(2) Click "Advanced Options".

(3) Click "See more recovery options"

You should see an option to revert to the previous OS there. But the option - I believe I've read - will not be there, if previously you chose to do a Reset. Also, it may not be there, if 30 days have passed since your upgrade.

You may want to try other options first. Good luck.

Edit 6/5: As Tryx3 says, try & try again to get back your user account. And maybe try other things in the Recovery Environment as well. Here is something to consider doing first...

Issue as Administrator

Bob,

Two steps -

1 Check that Fast start is off -

Right-click on the Start button,

Control panel,

[View by - large/Small icons, if necessary to see the next action],

Power options,

Choose what the power buttons do,

Change settings that are currently unavailable,

clear the box for Fast start,

Save changes.

2 Reboot and, when the computer maker's logo has appeared, press and hold the
Shift key until the logon screen appears. You should now be able to see all the user accounts so you can choose which one you want.

By the way, I assume that "I enabled the Administrator user mode" means that you enabled the Built-In Admin account. That allows you, and any hacker who has reached your computer, to install anything without any onscreen warnings to tell you what is going
on. Creating Admin-level local user accounts of your own & disabling the Built-In Admin account is a much safer practice.

It is normal, removing catroot2, removes certificates required by UAC.
Make sure you are connected to the internet and that cryptSvc is running.
Catroot2 will be rebuild within an hour. You might notice high CPU usage.

 

Oh i see, thanks for the information !

It took more than 1hours, but yeah its now back to normal !
