Administrator has Insufficient privileges


Hi,
I would like to modify an .inf file located here:

Code: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\android_winusb.inf_amd64_bd75d06c56998078[/quote] but windows don't let me do it. Pretexting that I don't have enough rights to do it.

I tried with the super administrator trick:

activating administrator account into the computer management settings
logging with the administrator account
trying to modify the file.

When trying to add modification rights to the folder the error is still the same; insufficient privileges.

The terms are maybe not the same for you as my windows is in french.

Thanks.

 

Windows 10 PC not recognizing administrator privileges.

Hi Jade,

Damages within the components of your user profile can be one of the possible reasons why you are experiencing an issue with using its administrator privileges. To troubleshoot this concern, we suggest creating a new admin user profile. To be able to create
a new administrator user profile, you would need to enable the built-in administrator in your Windows 10 device.

To enable the built-in administrator account, follow these steps:

• Using Search type CMD to open the Command Prompt. Right click on CMD then choose Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Yes.
  
• In the Command Prompt window, type net user administrator /active:yes and then hit the Enter key.
• You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out the user profile you are currently using, and you’ll now see the Administrator account as a choice on the login screen.
  
• Using the built-in administrator account, create a new admin user profile.
• Log into the new admin user profile.
• Check if the same issue persists.

Note: The built-in administrator account has more privileges than a regular administrator account. Privileges that can easily generate a conflict on your system. We only recommend enabling the built-in administrator account for troubleshooting purposes and
you have to disable it once you are done.

To disable the built-in administrator account, access the Command Prompt with administrator privileges. Type the command
net user administrator /active:no and then hit the Enter key. The built-in administrator account will now be disabled, and shouldn’t show up on the login screen.

Update us with the results.
