Windows 10: No programs open unless run as administrator [Win10]

hello Microsoft from yesterday I couldn't open any program without running them as an administrator I'm using "Gmail' as my account on this computer please help me I don't want to reinstall my windows 10

:)

 

No programs open unless run as administrator [Win10]

Okay so today after I restarted my laptop (MSI Ge60) I left it for a while, and tried to open Word. Nothing happened. I tried to open Edge (app), it opened then closed instantly. I then tried every program/app I had, and the same thing occured. I restarted
my laptop again and the same thing happened. I then tried opening google chrome manually, run as administrator, and it opened fine, but I can't open any other programs/apps without running as adminstrator.

What causes this, and is there a way to fix without recovery etc?

Thanks for the help,

Jack.

Hi Jack,

Thank you for the update.

Please follow the below steps for further troubleshooting.

If the issue persists, please follow the below steps.

Step 2: DISM scan.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a new command line tool that you can use to service a Windows image or prepare a Windows PE image. The DISM tool replaces the Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe), PEimg, and Intlcfg tools. DISM consolidates
the functionality found in those three tools, as well as delivers new functionality to improve the experience of offline servicing.

Please follow the given steps to run a DISM scan:

1) Press Windows + x on your keyboard.

2) Select Command prompt (Admin) to open Administrator Command prompt.

3) In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth


dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth


Please let us know if the issue is resolved or you need any further assistance.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
