Windows 10: No longer admin and error when I try to delete a certain program

I tried to delete something. I can't remember what it was but the computer wouldn't let me. I don't know how to check if I have admoin control but I have only one account on my system.

When I try to delete finally fantasy xiv I get this error message

Runtime Error!
....formation\blahblahblahsetup.exe
abnormal program termination

:)

 

Every time I try to run a program as admin a box pops up.

The box shows where the file is located. For example, "C\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"

then it says "File system error (-1073741819)"

Any thoughts?

Hi Brayton,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely assist you.

Let’s try simple troubleshooting methods and check if it helps in resolving the issue.
Follow the below methods.

Method 1.

I would suggest you to boot in safe mode and check if you encounter the same issue. Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer with only basic service and functionality. If an existing problem doesn’t reappear when
you start windows in safe mode, you can eliminate the defaults settings and basic device drivers as possible cause. Visit the below link on how to boot in safe mode:

Boot Windows 10 in Safe Mode

If the issue still persist try the below methods.

Method 2.

I suggest you to perform Clean boot and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
Clean boot process will help you determine which third party program/app that is causing this issue. It could be some other application or programs, which runs on the computer at the background, leading to this issue. Please visit the below
link on how to perform Clean boot.

Disclaimer: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.

If the above methods does not fix the issue try the below provided information.

Method 3.

This issue could be due to the system file is corrupt. I recommend you to perform SFC scan, System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. Follow the below
link on how to run SFC scan.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

 

Have you closed Final Fantasy completely, and exited the program and all other programs it may be using?

Was Final Fantasy bootlegged or you purchased it? If it's bootlegged it could be the cause of it and determining the issue grows more difficult.

Let's confirm if you are an Administrator.

Firstly, can you open power shell by typing Power Shell into the Start Menu, and right clicking, and selecting Run As Administrator.

Then type Code: net localgroup Administrators[/quote] and press enter.





Take a screenshot and we can verify if you are an Administrator with Administrator rights.

 

Yes it's been closed and exited. I did not bootleg the game. oh and what you told me to do worked! it said
administrator alyssa the command completed successfully.

 

Excellent. Please clarify: are we uninstalling this game, or deleting a file or is the uninstaller having issues deleting a file when uninstalling?

Then in this case, you seem to have the appropriate Administrator rights to perform a file deletion. Have you attempted to delete the file again?


And perhaps: Attempt to restart the computer, make sure the game is not running, and then uninstall it and see if the error returns.
