Windows 10: “Some settings are managed by your system administrator” but I'm running as admin

I did a fresh install of Win 10 Pro on a new PC build, and in some settings and config windows it's preventing me from changing the settings, showing “Some settings are managed by your system administrator” -- even when logged in as admin?For example when I run sysdm.cpl to change system properties, many selections are grayed out and changing others brings up that error message. Oddly, this doesn't happen in Windows update settings, even though other users experience that.I went through gpedit.msc and couldn’t find any settings that weren’t “not configured”, e.g. no limitations seem to be enab

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

Some Settings Are Managed by An Administrator in Settings

Looks like you have made some privacy settings while signed in as an administrator, then signed in as a standard user. If so then yes, this is perfectly normal. These setting apply across all users on the machine whether a standard or admin user, but only an administrator can change them. Note that for a standard user the 'change' button is greyed out.
