Windows 10: When installing or deleting some programs, I'm told I need to have administrative...

When installing or deleting some programs, I'm told I need to have administrative privileges. However I'm the only user on my computer with a single account and I'm listed as administrator. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This questions was asked back in 2017 and no one was able to help him or the hundreds of others with the same problem. Can you help us now in 2023? I have the same problem. I appear as the Admin in the command prompt inquiry. I am the admin in my MS Info page. What the hell is wrong? Why

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
