    Run as Administrator Greyed Out

    The option the tick the 'Run as Administrator' in app properties is greyed out. I'm logged into the Administrator account so I don't know why it's not letting me change it.

    Screenshot of the setting greyed out

    I am on Windows 10 Home version 22H2.

    I am not recognized as an administrator on Windows 11

    Hi,

    Open a Command Prompt window and run:

    • net localgroup administrators
    Please post the output/screenshot here.

    Meanwhile, restart Windows in Safe mode and login to the built-in Administrator account (it has a blank password by default). Once logged in, perform the steps in "Solution 3" (fixing the Group Membership) you tried earlier. REF: Lost Administrator Rights in Windows 10/11?

    Run as Administrator greyed out in Windows 11

    Some web pages not displaying fonts correctly: at a loss here  

    For me this works: Step 1: Run Command Prompt as administrator. Step 2: Type C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf and press Enter. Then I get the install option (no longer greyed out)
