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

 

no administrator permission

Hi Ryan,

Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

• Type CMD on the search box.
• CMD will appear at top.
• Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
• Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
• After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
• On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
Net user administrator /active:no.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Using an Administrator: Command Prompt window in Windows 10 - Must Be Administrator Error

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

You may answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

- Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?

- Does this issue occur only when you run the netsh command?

- Is the PC connected to any Domain Network?

You may try these steps to open Command Prompt in admin mode and see if that makes any difference:

Step 1:

Click Start, type CMD and then simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys to open CMD in admin mode.

Step 2:

- Press Windows key + X and select Command prompt (Admin).

- Click the Yes button when you see the UAC prompt to run Command Prompt as administrator.

Step 3:

- Press Windows key + Letter E together to open the Windows Explorer window.

- Navigate to Windows folder and then open up System 32 folder.

- Locate the file named CMD, right-click on it, and then click Run as administrator option.

- Click the Yes button when you see the UAC prompt to run Command Prompt as administrator.

Step 4:

You can also try this command on default user admin.

- Click Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

- Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

- In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.

- When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

- At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.

Sign out for the current user profile and sign in to the Default administrator account to see if that makes any difference.

Note: Disable the default administrator, once the troubleshooting is done. You can do that by going to the command prompt in admin mode and at the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: no, and then press Enter.



Waiting for your response.
