Windows 10: System error 5 has occurred even as admin - (cmd) Windows 10

My system is Windows 10 Pro x64, with the latest updates applied.

When I try to execute any "net" command in cmd (eg: net stop TeamViewer, net users, etc') I get the error "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied."

I have researched for hours and did every possible solution I saw mentioned anywhere but still no luck.
Here are a few facts:

1. I opened the cmd with admin rights (see screenshot below)
2. I am the sole PC user with full admin rights.
3. This happens even if I disable Windows Firewall.
4. My UAC is disabled and in the registry, EnableLUA is set to 0.

How can I give myself access to run net commands?

system error 5 occured

Hi,



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.



This issue may occur for one of the following reasons:

• 
  Permissions to access the remote computer (Share, NTFS, GPO) are missing.
  
• 
  A firewall or third-party product may eliminate the connection to the remote computer.
  
• 
  The computer account is disabled, has an expired password, or doesn’t exist in the domain.
  
• 
  There is an Active Directory replication problem.
  

I suggest you to Run the Command Prompt as Admin and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows +X.
  
• 
  Select Command Prompt (Admin) and try typing the command check if the issue persist.
  

Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

Hi

when I try step 1 above the CMD promt says "System error 5 has occurred. Access Denied"

& under step 2 teh CMD promt advises "System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

C:\Users\Admin>ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.old

Access is denied."

What can I do as the upgrade is now starting to annoy me!
