Windows 10: Windows 10 and UAC and compiling c++

Hi all,

I'm trying to code some basic c++ on atom ide or notepad++. I followed some tutorials on youtube and I downloaded the mingw c++ compiler and it has installed properly I think and I've added it to my variable path, in my laptop, with my administrator account.

However, I'm trying to run a "Hello World!" example, but my cmd line errors and and says, "access is denied." I have tried to allow full control to my own user account, but when I get to the widows dialog box, it's greyed out. It's like un-editable. So, being the administrator of this laptop, how does the security dialog show everything as being greyed out. I don't understand if I'm the administrator, by default, shouldn't I be allowed to compile and run code? My feeling is that onedrive is messing it up somehow...

any ideas on how to proceed?

thx for any help,

windows 10, 1903

Problem with UAC in win 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

To disable UAC prompts, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below:

• In the search bar, type Control Panel and press Enter.
• Click on User Accounts and again click on User Accounts.
• Click on Change User account control settings.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt.
• Drag the box from Always Notify to Never Notify and click on OK.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt (if asked again).

Important: Turning off UAC reduces the security of your computer and may expose you to increased risk from malicious software. We do not recommend leaving UAC disabled.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

Compiler on C/C++ for Nokia 5530.

As @grschinon, I too understood you were looking for a compiler that could compile C/C++ applications, but it was not all clear to me that you wanted to actually do it on the phone! So now that that's clear, the download page for Carbide.c++ and the SDKs
should have tipped you off because of the "Requirements" posted - it clearly requires a Windows-based computer to run. Since this does not satisfy your needs, I suggest a Google search - please follow-up here with any useful leads.
