  1. Two administrator accounts - one blocking games download


    I use a set of games that uses a game manager to present prior games purchases, trial games, etc. Since I got a new PC Dell Inspiron Windows 11 HOME, I get error messages when I try to play a game I own. Most of the time it is an "ACCESS violation at 0x...., tried to write to 0x.... There is a long string after 0x. I have uninstalled the game manager and any individual related games situated on my C drive. I worked with McAfee and eliminated it as a cause. My sister downloaded the manager to her PC and had no issues when signed into my account. DIFFERENCE? I have both my Microsof

  2. administrator block

    Hello,

    I am trying to download some games from cd.

    I keep getting a box which states blocked by administrator. Contact administrator.

    I am listed as administrator, and can't figure out this issue resolution.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    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

    Two administrators, only want one: I deleted the Windows.old folder and ever since when I log in my login page has an added administrator account along with my normal login/administrator. Can I just delete the new administrator and move on, or is this a deeper problem? Thanks 142361
