Windows 10: Who is "Trusted Installer?"

Several times when I want to maybe rename or delete a file, I get a message that I have to get permission from "Trusted Installer" before I can do what I want, or need, to do.

I'm the only user on this system and I have Administrator Privileges, so why am I not the 'Trusted Installer' ???

Any solution to this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Windows 10 Automatic Updates

Yes, it helps me remember that Microsoft are a bunch of **** who don't trust users who know what they are doing to control their own machine.

 

WHO TO TRUST FOR PC ISSUES?

ALL THESE MESSAGES ARE BOGUS.

Ignore them. Critical driver updates are distributed via Microsoft update otherwise the only drivers you should ever consider are from the manufacturer. If a laptop or branded computer then from them otherwise from the component manufacturer for individual
devices.

In most cases these messages are generated by web page addons which do not actually know if there are problems or not. Download and run (it does not install) AdwCleaner. Scan then Clean the computer to remove any
Potentially Unwanted Program. Check Control Panel, Programs and Features for any recently installed program that is unexpected.

 

Microsoft is the trusted installer

 

First, some misconceptions on your part. You are not "getting permission from" TrustedInstaller. TrustedInstaller is the owner of the file or directory, and you must override that ownership to allow your own account to work with those files.

TrustedInstaller is a Windows built-in account, technical called NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller.

TrustedInstaller is the owner of things like ProgramFiles, and Windows folders. When you install an application, the installer runs as the TrustedInstaller user. This is so that these folders can be prevented from being modified by normal users, such as if you accidentally ran a malware app. Even if you were silly enough to click Yes to the UAC prompt, it still could not overwrite the files.
