Windows 10: Requiring Administrator's permission but I'm the only user??

Recently the PC's been saying I need Administrator's permission before saving a file into certain folders I've already created.


I'm the only user and don't recall setting up any security guidelines on this. I'm not the type to wander through the entrails of my PC checking boxes, turning things on or off that I don't understand just to see "I wonder what this will do?"


Any thoughts on what I may have done and how I can save things anywhere I want (into folders I've created) without having to get my own permission?


Thanks in advance..

:)

Hi Ryan,

Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

• Type CMD on the search box.
• CMD will appear at top.
• Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
• Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
• After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
• On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
Net user administrator /active:no.
