    Windows 10 Access Denied - unable to gain administrator privileges


    Okay so turning the computer off and on worked and I was able to access the elevated command prompt. However after spending another couple of hours trying to take ownership, add a new user, check users and administrators through the command prompt, I am still not getting anywhere.

    The usual approach is to use the command prompt to enable the built-in Administrator account as per Option Four. Then reboot and use that account to do the repairs.

    I did that, however I had already enabled the built-in Administrator from the command prompt. So when I looked at the Binary value it had already been changed from 11 to 10. One thing I did notice is that the computer's name has changed to MINWINPC$. This is not the computer's original name. I am not sure how to change it back and whether this will help. My son's user account never appears in the local user group or administrator group. I keep adding him through the command prompt as administrator and it says it is successful, I then proceed to log on. Access is still denied to everything on the C: drive.
