Windows 10: Why even as an administrator it says access is denied?

Windows 11. Updates are not downloading properly. So after going through an article, I ran a few commands. When I entered ren%systemroot%\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.bak, it said access is denied. I made sure the level of access granted to the user was that of an administrator. Please help me out.

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Hi Rebekah,

It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.

 

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Can't send screen shot. Entering Command prompt(admin) get "Do you want this app..." box with NO as the only choice. I have tried everything I've found on the net to enable the built in administrative account to no avail. Running Win10 OS build: 16299.125.
HELP!

 

Access Denied

I tried. It says "access denied", same error. Anything that requires "administrator access" gives me this error. I only have one partition. Not working.
