Error of asking permission from the administrator

Hello,

The error message that asks permission usually appears when you don't have administrator rights to copy a file or folder. To determine the cause of the issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• What is the exact error message that you're getting?
• Were you able to copy files before without any error?
• Were there any changes made on your PC prior to this?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps provided by Niranjan Manjhi on this
post. It includes guidelines on how to take ownership of a file or folder,
turn off the User Account Control (UAC) which is necessary in preventing unauthorized changes to your computer, and enabling the hidden built-in administrator account on your PC. This was marked as an answer and a lot of Community members
claimed it as helpful and that it solved their problem.

Please update us with the results. We will be glad to assist you.

 

Windows 10 Photos Permissions Error

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are signed in as administrator.

I would like to inform you that it could be better, if you sign in as administrator and check if the issue persists.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are able to take the full control of the folder or files.

• Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user
  names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
• The permissions for the selected user or group are shown in the lower portion of the properties dialog box.
• Assign yourself “Full control” permission by checking the box for “Allow” for Full Control and check if you can access the drive.

If the issue still persists, follow the below steps.

1. Type UAC or User Account Access on the search bar.

2. From UAC window, I suggest you to bring down the level to default and check if it helps.

Hope the information helps in resolving the issue related to the folder permissions. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

UAC dims the display When Asked for Administrator Privileges

Hi Darius,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand how difficult it could be and we truly appreciate the time and effort that you have taken to work on this issue. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. Is the system connected to the Domain?
   
2. Was there any major update on your system prior to which you did not face this issue?
   
3. What is the complete message that you are receiving when you are getting a “dark screen with the sound of asking for administrator permissions”?
   

In the meantime, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps you.

1. Search for UAC in search bar.
   
2. Click on Change User Account Settings from the list.
   
3. You would see a slider bar to the left of the page which you can adjust up and down.
   
4. Move the slider and position it so it is second from the bottom. You should see some text to the right side stating
   Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop).
   

Regards,
