  1. Win 10 - user account control started blocking apps


    Hi,


    yesterday I could run all apps on my computer, from this morning on, I can't. Even the MMC.EXE is blocked. We are using ECM called MFiles, and I can't run Admin tools anymore.


    I'm a local and domain administrator, so the rights should be OK.



    Any ideas?


    Kind regards, Uros

    :)

    Hi,



    Thank you for your response.

    Sorry for the delay in response

    I suggest you to Disable
    the built in Administrator account in Windows 10, before disabling the account I suggest you to create a new account and then disable the account.

    I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps


    • Press Windows+ X, select
      Command Prompt
      , and then click Run as Administrator.

    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

    • At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: no, and then press Enter.


    Refer the link to create a new user account
