    unlock win10 s mode, but must be an admin


    I purchased two computers on which has windows 10 s mode.


    When I go to settings / activation / witch to windows 10 home


    then select blue link "Go to the Store" . .



    then inside the store "Switch out of S mode"

    press blue "get" button



    I get a pop up from


    User Account Control

    To continue, enter an admin user name and password


    but THERE IS NO ALLOW button, only a NO button.


    That means I can't unlock non s mode.




    ------------------------------------------


    How do I get the ALLOW button to appear?



    ---------------------------------



    I have already verified my account with MS


    and


    have tried several methods to sign on as Administrator. No luck.

    :)

    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
