Windows 10: Unable to Open Cmd window with Admin

Hello - For the past 2 or 3 weeks, I have tried to open a CMD window with Admin but nothing happens. I right click the Win key in lower left, click "Command Prompt Admin" but then nothing happens. In the past, a few seconds after clicking the above button, a new cmd window would open - with admin privilege's. Suggestions??

:)

 

Cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode

I am using win 10 pro. My initial problem is I cannot display list of wifi networks. I cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode. I've used all the trouble shooting steps on this site and nothing works. Short of throwing this PC out the window is there anything
else I can try?

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

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
