    Could not open Service Manager: Access is denied

    Hi,

    I downloaded gpu-z - I can run it as administrator, it works great.

    Thing is, I need it to be running from a user account to monitor what happens in a given user situation.

    But even if I Run as Administrator I get this error message:
    Could not open Service Manager: Access is denied

    do you know why and a way around this?

    thanks,
    dani

    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.

  4. i am an administrator but i get "access is denied" when i try to change Window update service

    Windows Update is disabled, Access is denied when trying to enable in properties.

    • Click "Change".
    • In the “Select Users or Groups” dialog, type administrators and click OK.
    • Click "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", and then click Apply. Don’t close the dialog yet.
    • Select each permission entry and click Remove.
    • Click Apply.
    • Click "Enable inheritance"
    • Click Apply.
    • Click OK.
    Post a screenshot.
