    I am logged in as Administrator but am not allowed to perform Administrator tasks


    I use Windows 10 Home. Each time I want to move a file/folder, it says "You'll need Administrative approval to move this folder."

    Today, Defrag stopped working. I opened the Run box and styped SFC/Scannow. I was told that only the Administrator has the right to do this.


    I took these steps to ensure that I am the Administrator:

    Control Panel > User account > There is only 1 user account, me, and in the box with my name in in it, it says Administrator. There are no other user accounts.

    How can I fix this?

    :)

    You may be better off looking at the job descriptions for some of the businesses you wish to do the job for; as, some companies have varying duties and requirements.

    As a legal concept, administration is a procedure under the insolvency laws of a number of common law jurisdictions. It functions as a rescue mechanism for insolvent entities and allows them to carry on running their business. The process – an alternative to liquidation – is often known as going into administration. A company in administration is operated by the administrator (as interim chief executive) on behalf of the creditors as a going concern while options are sought short of liquidation. These options include recapitalising the business, selling the business to new owners, or demerging it into elements that can be sold and closing the remainder.
