Control key held down

Hi John,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

A required privilege is not held by the client // help please

My problem: A required privilege is not held by the client shows up when I try to run any executable file. I am the only administrator on all household PC's. I have at least five Windows 10 PC's in the household.

For a couple of months I had my problem on only one desktop PC (v1909) which I have dealt with by using Safe Mode when I absolutely had to do so. As of today I can add one laptop (v2004) to my list with this problem. I read the one post that I could find and I tried the suggestion today on both of the problem PC's to no avail. (Tweaking.com's cautious repair tool, observing the cautious steps, and apply only the relevant fixes for permissions.) I have at least one other PC with v2004 and no privilege problem and at least one other PC with v1909 and no privilege problem.

Previously I had tried these six methods:
1. Run the Program as Administrator
2. Use Command Prompt to run the file
3. Disable The Admin Approval Mode
4. Disable UAC using Registry Editor
5. Change Sharing Permission
6. Take ownership of the Root Drive

Thank you for any new suggestions or known fixes . . . .

 

Unidentified key held down

I know my issue is a little bit hard to explain, so I recorded it on video, and the link is at the end.

My computer behaves as if I have a key held down. When I hover with my mouse over the taskbar, over open files on windows 10 I am supposed to see a small preview, right? But it doesn't show the preview unless I move my mouse around, and then its sort of blinking. Also, when I play different games, they behave as if I pressed the wrong button.

So I wanted to know at first which button is held down on my keyboard, so I went into this Javascript Key Event Test Script: Javascript Key Event Tester

The tester should, in theory, show key events, and it shows that an unidentified button is held down.

In firefox, it shows this:



In Microsoft Edge it shows this:



Even if I disconnect my keyboard, it still insists I'm holding down this "unidentified button".

Restarting didn't help.

• I tried uninstalling the keyboard driver.
  
• I even tried to recover old version, and hard-resetting the computer back to the manufacturer settings, the problem is still there.
  

I don't know if it is related in any way (I think it isn't) I'm using an all-in-one PC, it has a touch screen. I already disabled the touch screen and the problem is still there. There no other hardware other than my mouse (and the problem is still there if I disconnect my mouse, too).

English is not my main language, and I'm not very good at computers, I am sorry in advance.

I tried to record the issue, so here's the video:
