    Setup wrong admin user.

    I am an administrator but don't have access to my documents

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.


    • How many user accounts are setup on the PC?
    I suggest you to check if issue persists in Hidden Admin account. Follow the steps to enable Hidden Admin:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type ‘net user administrator /active:yes’ and press Enter.

    • Now check if issue persists on the Hidden admin account.
    Please get back to us with the results of the result of the proposed suggestion.
