  1. If I run my apps as the administrator, will it affect the admin account?


    Hey, I have 2 users in my dad's laptop which is Windows 10 btw the first is obviously my dad's and the 2nd one is mine. My dad is the administrator. Sometimes I need to run files and apps AS THE ADMINISTRATOR. I just wanna ask that if I run MY apps and files as the administrator if my DAD, so will my apps and files affect his user account? If YES, then how do I prevent it?

    :)

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    App can't be opened using the built-in administrator account.


    Created new user, made it admin, disabled "Run all administrators in admin approval mode" to get rid of shields, restarted PC And still get this blue screen and can't open apps...
    What a shame...
