    says that the app can not be opened contact administrator to reinstall or uninstall but it will not allow me to.

  3. Win 10 - How do I transfer all programs and settings from one user to another on same PC

    Thank you Tireman8 and BulldogXX,

    I am getting a little smarter with Win 10. I now understand the difference between a "Microsoft

    login in acct" and a Local user Acct!!

    After enabling the Administrator acct and using some command line scripts, the Photos App

    now opens and works on Win 10. I believe many of the problems are a result of User security issues.

    This PC was an upgrade from Win 8.1 Pro. I wanted to create a Password reset disk (Flash drive) and

    could not with a Local Standard Account. the newly enabled Admin account allowed me to do this.

    A Password reset Flash Drive could only be created in the Local Admin account!! and a test of this:

    By trying to log into a Standard Account (shown as Administrator privileges in Users), and using a

    wrong password in an attempt to try out the backup password file....There was no link to the password

    reset flash drive.

    Sorry a little confusing...bottom line: I believe a lot of the issues deal with a Microsoft Login vs a Local

    created Login.

    In the future, when setting up a new PC with Win 10, I am going to enable the Administrator account as

    a Local account, with a strong password. Then, if the customer has issues with logging in to the desktop,

    a wrong password will bring up all the user accounts, the Admin account can be selected, and the original

    non accessible user account can have its password changed. Probably easier then trying to create the

    password reset disk, which will get lost anyway!

    Not allowed to start/open APPS in WIN 10, says wrong user. Driving me

    By design modern Apps such as Edge do not run with the built in Administrator or any other full time admin account. The built in Administrator account was never intended for general use. The solution is to use a different account.

    Either you are logging in as the local administrator, which is typically disabled by default. Or you have turned off UAC, which generates the same message because UAC is required to run any Universal Applications.

    The solution is to use a normal user, or turn on UAC.

  7. "group policy editor" and many other type things are not part of my windows 10 home edition.

    So i could only enable uac but nothing else could be done, it is like giving a paralized man crutches knowing even two crutches won't work.

    Not blaming you but is there any patches or downloads even from microsoft to give those files to us home users?

    Thanks thus far for your help.

    Not allowed to start/open APPS in WIN 10, says wrong user. Driving me

    No, that is one of the differences between home and pro/enterprise. Most everything that group policy does can be done with registry tweaks though.

    Yes, you can upgrade to Windows Pro. That will give you the tools. You are not licensed to use them in Pro, so even if you managed to get them somehow, you would not legally be allowed to use them.

    Regardless, I didn't say anything about group policy. So I don't really understand what the argument is about.
