    Restricted access on the admin account - how to solve


    Hi,


    Question: How do I grant myself the actual admin rights on Win10 to make the system usable.


    In short, I am the owner and the only user of a new PC with Win10 Home, in contrary to my previous also Win10/ Win7/ XP machines, I seem to lack basic rights of the 'PC owner'/ 'admin'


    As an example, I cannot even create any file txt/ xls/ anything in most of the folders even though in theory I am in the admin group.

    I tried the usual/ standard ways of dealing with this issue, but the lusrmgr does not work

    neither can it be added/ enabled via console root:

    Of course following the Windows guidelines and trying to use the UAC does not make any difference changed protection level to the lowest, still not being able to create files in folders. Extremely annoying.


    Best

    :)

    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

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
