Windows 10: Permissions

I am trying to install a Steelseries controller. When I download the software, I get, Windows cannot open the file you may not have proper permissions. When I check permissions on the drive. I have full permissions.
I hit ignore while downloading. The file is on my computer.
When I try installing the controller, it doesn't show up on the blue tooth (screen).
I tried deleting it from the drive (with the uninstaller). It leaves the Steelseries file and well when I click on that. I have no permissions. WTF?

:)

Don't have permissions to change permissions

Hi Mady,

There are two kinds of administrator on the computer, first is the administrator user created during the Windows installation using a local account or Microsoft account. It has complete access to the computer and can make desired changes
unless the activity requires elevated rights. Second is the Built-in hidden Administrator which is a local account that has a full unrestricted access rights to the computer.

You can still access restricted files, apps, and program by right clicking on it and selecting
Run as administrator on the menu.

If anything comes up, don't hesitate to get back to us anytime.

 

What is the model# of the Steelseries controller? Where are you downloading the driver from?
Have you downloaded it from here? SteelSeries Engine Software - GameSense Customization | SteelSeries. Save the file to your download location and right click the SteelSeriesEngine3.114Setup.exe file and choose Run As Administrator.

 

Spunk, Yup, downloaded it from the same place. I can't run it administrator either. The box comes up but when it try to click it the check wont move, appear in the admin. box

 

Enable the Hidden Administrator account. Log out as you and login as the Administrator. Try running it as Admin again.

 

Finally got In the hidden admin account. Same thing. Then I tried to delete it got it all but one file, and then I need admin approval?

 

Hmm Ok Take Ownership of the file.
Right click the TaskBar and start the Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, and Make sure the program is not running in the background, if it is, End the Process before deleting the file.

 

Spunk, I actually got it deleted thanks. I have a ticket in with Steelseries, maybe they can tell me whats wrong with the download.
Then again, maybe you can.
