Windows 10: How can I run literally everything in my PC as an admin?

Now I know this would be a massive security flaw, but it's inconvenient to open up the start menu and manually type in Task Manager, then right click it to open it as an admin every time I need to open it, instead of right clicking the taskbar or CTRL+Shift+Esc. Even CTRL+Alt+Del then select Task Manager doesn't work. This problem only appeared after I had resetted my PC earlier this month because it was running a bit slowly. FYI it affects all programs. Now it doesn't have to be all programs, but only programs that REQUIRE admin rights to run.



I have checked that my account type is in fact an Administrator, and have checked that I do have full control over all the drives in my PC. I have the default "Administrator" account enabled though, I don't know if that affects anything? Though before I resetted my PC I always had this account on and it didn't affect anything.

running DOS as ADMIN

I suggested that in post #4 but @bromberg doesn't seem to have tried it yet...

 

running DOS as ADMIN

I assume you don't have 'exit' anywhere in your batch file?

Rather than playing with 'pause' - if you want to see the output...

1. Open a command window as admin
2. Run the batch file manually
3. Command window will not close unless the 'exit' command is issued
4. Read output

That's the first step I'd take to diagnose. Then run every line in your batch file manually, one-by-one, in your admin command window (copy and paste from the actual batch file, don't retype the commands).

You'll soon find your problem.

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
