Windows 10: System Error 5 Access denied - Even With Administrator Privileges

Hi. I get "System error 5 Access is denied" error when trying to install Emscripten SDK 1.38.27 using the emsdk. I also have version 1.39.0 of Emscripten; what I want to do is to also get this earlier to have alongside it because I need it for Qt 5.13.1 (Qt for WebAssembly) which requires Emscripten 1.38.27 and it's giving me problems with later versions.

I get the error both with and without Administrator privileges. Does anyone anyone know what I need to do in order to solve this?

For anyone familiar with Emscripten and Wasm, this is the full session when running the command:

I wonder if I should just manually unzip the WinPython stuff with Admin privileges myself and then run the command again? (I did also report this on the Emcripten GitHub page).

I'm using the emsdk with Windows 10 itself, without the WSL. The WSL was giving me BSOD issues so I uninstalled it. My Windows 10 version is 1903 and Build is 18362.418.

There's another problem I'm having by the way. It's unrelated to the above issue, but I'll say it here anyway: for some reason I can't type in the MS Edge address bar. I can still type in other search bars, like the Bing search bar and the Windows and Cortana search bars.

Windows 10 Access Denied - unable to gain administrator privileges


It is my son's computer. He is the administrator so he can log in. However the programs do not run and there is no access to any folders. When using command prompt it gives a system 5 error. It does not seem to recognize him as the administrator anymore even though in settings he is listed as the administrator. I am unable to use an elevated command prompt because access to this is denied.

System error 5 Access denied


Hello,
When setting up a user account for my wife, which works fine, however I now cannot access my account which had administrator rights. I do not show up as an option. I tried using the default administer account via command prompt and I get a "system error 5" "Access denied" result.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Steve
