Pasting Admin Password results in File System Error (-1073741189)

Hi Thomas,

A corrupted operating system is one of the possible causes why you're getting the error message:
File System Error (-1073741189) upon pasting the password. To isolate your concern, kindly answer the following:

• Have you tried to disable the UAC control to see if the issue persists?
• What's the current build of your computer? Is it 16299.19?
• Have you made hardware changes recently?

Meanwhile, let's try to perform a system restore to undo system changes by using restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files of users. You may refer

Problem with UAC in win 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

To disable UAC prompts, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below:

• In the search bar, type Control Panel and press Enter.
• Click on User Accounts and again click on User Accounts.
• Click on Change User account control settings.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt.
• Drag the box from Always Notify to Never Notify and click on OK.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt (if asked again).

Important: Turning off UAC reduces the security of your computer and may expose you to increased risk from malicious software. We do not recommend leaving UAC disabled.
