Windows 10: restricted admin permissions

I am trying to add a .dll file to an existing folder and I get the message that I do not have the correct permissions and I need to and have to contact the administrator.


I am the sole user of the computer and my account is set as administrator.


I'm a basic computer user so answers need to be simple


Thanks in advance...

Unable to set restriction for local user in Windows 10

Hi,



I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.

• 
  How did you noticed that user is still able to access the drive?
  
• 
  Did you log into the local user account and check the permission?
  

I suggest you to follow the steps below to restrict the user.

• In File Explorer, right click on the drive which you want to restrict.
• Click Properties.

• Uncheck all the permission for system.

permissions

Well, if he is already an administrator and connected the drive, Admin User will be in the list. His name may or may not be. If he is an Admin, which he is, and can not access the drive, then adding his name to the list when the admin is the owner, may not
do anything. Then if he can not even access the drive with Admin Owner, he may not even be able to add his name to the list. But from experience running 5 to 10 drives at a time for years, System could even be the drive owner, therefore this could be the reason
for denying access to him as an ADMIN. Or simply, his permissions have been corrupt. even if there is an admins in the list with limited permissions, he can add another admins user with full permissions IF he is even allow to do so and delete the current ADMINS
in list.

AND IF HE IS DENIED ACCESS TO THE DRIVE AS AN ADMIN, I DOUBT HE WILL BE ALLOWED TO JUST ADD HIS NAME WHEN RESTRICTED FOR ACCESS IF THE OWNER IS ALREADY ADMINS AND ESPECIALLY THEN NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DRIVE. Ooops, caps were on, Sorry.

Been there did this 100 times with many situations. He may even have to do this in Safe Mode if he can not change owner or get access.

It just all depends.
