Windows 10: I was trying to delete McAfee on my computer and accidentally made a super administrator...

I was trying to uninstall the McAfee preinstalled on my new Windows 11 Laptop when I saw that I had to make a new super administrator account. However, I made this account but I didn't need it to uninstall McAfee. Now I have an extra account that is named Administrator and I want to get rid of it. However, when I tried to delete it through my main account that I use on a day to day basis, I couldn't find it.

accidentally deleted the administrations folder

McAfee can't be deleted, even though I'm administrator

So I'm the only administrator on my PC, I just want to delete McAfee but there is no way. Apparently, an "administrator" refuses that I run any uninstalling program linked to McAfee, whether it's MCPR or just any uninstall.exe of McAfee.

How come I have zero control in this even when running uninstall.exe as administrator ?

Here is the french version of the message:





"This application was blocked for your protection.

An administrator has refused the execution of this application. For more informations, contact the administrator (who is this ? I'm alone on this PC).

Uninstall.exe

Editor: Unknow (While they know the editor in the list of program so that's non sense)

Location of the file: "C:\Program Files(x86)\McAfee\SiteAdvisor\Uninstall.exe"

Display informations on the editor's certificate (which is just a blue text since clicking on it doesn't do anything)."

And I get the exact same message for any McAfee product on my computer, whether I try to delete them from the configuration panel or by hand running uninstall.exe as administrator. This includes MCPR.

 

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.
