    Unable to access User Accounts Control panel UAC


    I was configuring my Users on my windows 10 laptop was about to upgrade to windows 10 and accidentally removed Admin privileges from the main account while messing around with UAC. Now without any Administrator rights, I am unable to open UAC or Command Prompt administrator or even add an extra User to resolve this issue.This means that I have no administrator control over my laptop and I'm not able to upgrade my windows because of this.No matter which way I try and enter UAC or try to make any other change, the "yes" button is greyed out, and I am asked to enter an Administrator password

    :)

  2. Unable to access User Accounts Control panel (UAC)

    I have just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 with just a single user account.

    The problem:

    1 The user account created during upgrade does not have administrator rights

    2 Without administrator rights I cannot open UAC to get administrator rights

    This means that I have no administrator control over my PC, not even to reverse the upgrade back to Windows 7

    No matter which way I try and enter UAC, the "yes" button is greyed out, and I am asked to enter an Administrator password which I do not have.

    Can anyone suggest a way of getting the single user account changed to an Administrator account.

    P.S. I did the same upgrade on my laptop, and that works fine
