  1. My 'local admin' userid does not have administrative rights on my laptop - I don't understand


    I set up a local administrator on my laptop lenovo yoga slim 6, Windows 11 Home v 22H2 following the instructions given in Windows help - create normal user without ID account, then change this normal user to admin. I ran "manage-bde -status" in the command prompt to get the bitlocker status. I got the message "Error: an attempt to access a required resource was denied. Check that you have administrative rights on the computer." I Don't understand what's going on here - how can I not have administrative rights when I've just set up and am using the local admin user? Someone please help!

    :)

    admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

    Hi guys,

    I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
    I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

    Any suggestions?

    EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

    Cannot uninstall or even open Whatsapp desktop. Windows 10 says that I don´t have rights to do it but I'm the admin

    Cannot uninstall or even open Whatsapp desktop. Windows 10 says that I don´t have rights to do it but I'm the admin.

    My laptop has only one user account and it´s the administrator, and I´ve installed whatsapp using this account, so I don't understand why I don't have the rights to uninstall it. Could you help me?

    I can install / uninstall any other app easily

    Local Admin Rights Removed

    Hi Ma. Lau,

    Sorry for the late response to your email, here's the additional information you've requested;

    • When did the last time that you have access the computer with Admin rights? -->
      Dec 22, 2016
    • Who removed the Admin rights on your computer? --> Another person who played around the laptop's settings
    • Does the computer connected on a domain or workgroup settings? --> No, this is just a personal laptop with one local account.
    User accounts says not an Administrator account. Is there a way I can put it back without reinstalling win 10? I can't make any changes on the laptop.

    Thank you for your response to this concern, I appreciate it!

    Regards,

    Prime
