Windows 10: How do I get back my Administrator powers on my PC even though it already says I am one?

Hello,So this has been an ongoing issue and I've tried everything to fix it. I believe I have windows 10.On my PC there is only one Microsoft account attached- mine. In the settings I am listed as administrator and it is listed under my devices. Although I am the "administrator" I still get the pop up stating, "You don't have permission to access these files..." It also states something about asking the administrator, I can't remember off the top of my head though. This will happen if I try and delete files, try and download games, try and "open as administrator". I am once again the only on

:)

 

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Hi Rebekah,

It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.

 

probldems with power

Hi,

Your concern about your laptop turning off completely when placed on sleep mode may indicate a possible improper power plan configuration. As an initial step to rule out any power settings issues, we suggest that you reset the settings to default. To do
this, follow the steps below:

• Type cmd in the search box.
• Right clickCommand Prompt from the list, and select
  Run as administrator.
• Type or copy and paste the command below:
  
  powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
• Wait for the command to finish and restart the device if prompted.

Once you're done, check if the issue persists.

 

Lost Power, now PC won't boot. Powers on and clicks.

I had tried both of those steps. Neither worked. I have a replacement power supply on order. Should be here on Monday. Thanks for the suggestions.
