    Unable to run command as administrator


    On my kid's computer, I am the administrator. But when I am logged in as my kid, then attempt to run something as an administrator, I get a dialog box like that shown below. It says, "To continue enter admin username and password". But as you can see, there is no way to continue, no place to enter a username or password. This certainly seems like a bug to me. Any ideas how I can run apps as an administrator on my kids PC?FYI, this is the latest version of Windows 11.

    :)

    Hello,

    Here's the alternative steps to run open the command prompt as administrator.

    • Press Windows Logo + X.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin) to open command prompt as administrator.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows 10 Home - No response to Run Command Prompt as Administrator

    I have a Win 10 (Home) PC running 10.0.19041

    When trying to run Command Prompt as Administrator (right click and select method) nothing happens.

    I am logged in as an Administrator user.

    Web search suggested looking at Autorun entry in Registry for Current User, Software, Microsoft, Command Processor

    However, the command processor key is not listed under the Microsoft entry there.

    Web suggested copying from HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

    But that Command Processor entry does not appear in the list there either.

    The machine has been scanned with DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image and sfc

    This has resulted in corrupt files being found and repaired but with no change to the launch situation.

    Any suggestions, as this machine quite regularly goes away and does its onw thing and remains unresponsive for long periods before returning control to the user.

    Has been virus scanned, malware scanned, reg errors scanned with multiple products but always seems to be deemed to be clear of such problems.
