Windows 10: I just purchased Luxor - when downloading it says I need administrator permission! I am...

I am at a loss. I just purchased the game Luxor and every time I try to load it, it says I need Administrator Permission. First of all, I am the Administrator and secondly, I have downloaded many of these older games before with absolutely no problem. Is this because of a recent update? If so can I just back-date my computer to a date before the update took place to fix this problem? Please help...I am having surgery real soon and purchased several of these game to occupy me while recovering! Thank you!!

no administrator permission

Hi Ryan,

Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

• Type CMD on the search box.
• CMD will appear at top.
• Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
• Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
• After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
• On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
Net user administrator /active:no.

Let us know how it goes.
