  1. User Account control is blocking me from opening User account control settings


    I promise you, I have tried almost everything on the internet to try to fix this problem. For a little backstory, I haven't used my computer for at least 8 months, and last night I decided I wanted to use it again. I spent 3 hours updating and restarting my computer so everything was up to date. I really wanted to open an app I have had no issues with before, it normally just has a little window that pops up saying "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?". Under normal circumstances, It would have yes and no buttons, but now it only has a no button. The yes button isnt g

    User account Control

    Hi,

    Administrator accounts are accounts that are allowed complete control over a computer. They are allowed to make changes to settings, get through the User Account Control or UAC prompts to perform elevated tasks, and install programs. which is why in order
    to change the account type of the guest account into an administrator, you will need access or permission to use an administrator account on your computer.

    Once you have access to the administrator account on your computer, follow the steps below on how you can change the user account type of the guest account through the Settings app:

    • Click Start, and then Settings.
    • Click on Accounts, and then Family & other people.
    • Click to select the guest account, and then click the Change account type button.
    • Click on Standard User to open the drop down menu, and then select
      Administrator.
    • Click OK.

    Let us know how it turns out.
