Windows 10: why does windows keep changing my administrator permissions

Why does the windows 10 system keep changing my administrator permissions?????

I was told once again that I am not permitted to "save in this location." and that I have to contact the administrator to obtain permission.

I am the only one that uses this computer, the only one that ever touches the thing, and yet your stupid WYSIWYG keeps changing things when it runs updates.

You people need to fix this problem once and for all.

People have been complaining about this issue for years!!!!!

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.

• Check the users you signed into windows as (should be your Microsoft account) should be in the "Permissions entries" list with "Full Contol"
  
• If not, Add the user you are logged in as.
• All the folders and sub-folders below should be "owned" by the user you are logged into windows with
  importantly, have a permissions entry for "full control"
  
• Check for all the related folder where you are getting same error, but for some reason that same user is missing a "Permission Entry". Add a "full control" entry for the user and you should be able to save to that folder
  and all sub-folders
