Windows 10: I have administrator rights (only user) but am not autorised for the CMD prompt. How do I...

I need to submit some commands because I have a problem with upgrading to a new Windows 10 version (1903 or 1909).

I am the only person using this laptop, but I got the message:


====

C:\Users\hugob>chkdsk/f c:

Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or

the disk may be locked by another process.

You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode

and make sure the disk is unlocked.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Administrator/CMD prompt

I need to run a CMD prompt but it says I need to be the Administrator. I checked Users and I see my name and it says I AM the Administrator, but when I pull up the command prompt it lists me by another name (a nickname) and not my full name that I see as
my Admin User. Perhaps this is the problem?

Thing is there are no other users on my laptop...help!

@tal5352
follow readme.txt to step 8

instead of right click -> running Install.bat as administrator do the following:

start cmd as Administrator from Start->Run
cd to DifferentSLI folder
run Install.bat from the cmd prompt you started

resume at step 9

 

When attempt to access the WindowsApps folder with either administrator account, the system says I need administrator rights and denies access

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to enable built in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile and check if the issue persist.

• 
  Open a CMD window by right clicking on the Start icon, and selecting
  Command prompt (Admin).
  

• 
  Type the following command: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.
  
• 
  Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.
  
• 
  Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in as the Administrator account.
  

Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command: net user administrator /active: no
in the Command prompt (Admin).

To create a new user account follow the steps below:

• 
  On the Search bar type cmd and
  press ctrl + shift + Enter on the keyboard to open the Elevated
  Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type net user NewAccount password /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Log off from the system and login to the new user account.
  

Hope this helps!
