Windows 10: Why don't I have computer administrator rights on my administrator account? or what is the...

I'm trying to change the Data Excecution Prevention and it says "To use these settings, you must be a computer administrator and you must use the bcdedit.exe file. For more information, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base online." although i am the computer administrator. If that is not the problem, then what is the bcd.exe file and how do I use it?

Weird account name and lost Administrator rights.


Well, I know what I would do.

Under Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, then under Other users, add someone else to this PC. Then click the link for "the person I want to add doesn't have an email address". Then click the link for "Add a user without a Microsoft account". Then enter a temporary user name like TempAdmin. When the account appears in the Other Users list, click on it. Click change account type. Make the temporary account an Administrator.

Log in as the temporary administrator account, and copy all the files you want to keep from both the Andrius folders under Users to the temporary account's folder. Then delete whatever Andrius users are listed under settings, accounts. Go back to the Users folders and delete any remaining Andrius folders in there. Reboot the computer, log in as the temporary administrator and recreate an Andrius account using the exact same steps you made the temporary account - you can convert it to a Microsoft account if you want later.

Then do the rest of the steps to copy all your files back and delete the temporary administrator account.

 

Boot into Windows as administrator

You set up the admin password when installing XP, but most the time people believe it is for their individual account and not the Administrator one. As for Vista, like stated before, the initial account created is an administrator account, and if necessary, you may need to right click certain programs to "Run as Administrator"

 

Administrative rights on network computers?

The tutorial also says:

Obviously that means you need to run it as Administrator on each home computer.

"master computer" in home networks is each computer individually because there is no master/slave relation.
Your configuration file should probably contain parameters about remote users which must be local Administrators.

Local network should be set up as a first step.
