    Unable to Run Certain Applications Without Running as Administrator [Windows 10 x64bit]


    Without administrative privileges, I am unable to run certain programs like Steam, Spotify and even my own antivirus Avast (of course those aren't the only programs).

    I'm currently running an x64bit version of Windows 10 and it's never been like this until yesterday.

    There have not been any hardware changes recently but to software, I installed both MacType and RainMeter yesterday (plus a Spotify update).
    Also, startup programs refuse to start.

    :)

    Applications won't start when run as administrator

    Hi,

    I am facing a weird problem with my windows 10 professional laptop.

    For some unknown reason, it happens that all applications that are specified to run in administrator mode won't start when trying to.

    Rebooting windows solves the problem, but only for a certain time.

    I log onto a domain.

    My windows user belongs to the domain Administrators group.

    Any idea or suggestion ?

    Many thanks in advance.
