    need Admin permission to change region for time but I am the admin


    I have the same problem here with a newly reset computer, and I followed the steps for the command prompt, which displayed some short info, but it didn't work to give administrator access. What could I try next?The windows user is on a family plan we want to have monitored - do we need to delete their account and start over again?https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/need-admin-permission-to-change-my-time-zone-but-i/f09e375d-eca4-4b56-ae27-49d0529bd2a7

    Win7 User Admin permissions broken

    Basically it's an administrative user not the root admin , I don't know what it went wrong with settings and i forogot , but the permissions for it account were messed and now it cannot delete/edit sometimes stuff that came from rar or downloader or even installs, plus cannot uninstal most of programs , it's only possible with root admin (hidden), is there a way to restore these privilegies.

    Also the error points "You need administrative privilegies from Administrators/[Nickname] "
    BUT I AM THE DAMN USER !!!!

    It's not my PC so i really don't want to dig it up from scratch.


    The PC has RAID0 so basically im not going to go over that again with a reinstall/reformat. ... takes time.

    Admin rights

    Well now you see my issue. I am restarting explorer with admin permission, but nothing changes. It still says I need admin permission when I try to do anything with the files.
