  1. I’m locked out of administrator status.


    Every time I get into windows I log into my account(the admin account, I only have one) if I try to use administrator features the app just crashes. I can’t download anything, I can’t connect any Bluetooth devices and more. Can anyone help? I don’t know what I did wrong. I just put my cpu into turbo mode in my bios, and I turned that off after I got locked out of the bios.
