How can I get Windows 10 to stop asking me for Administrator approval? I sign into Windows as the Administrator and it recognizes me as the Administrator but whenever I want to rename, copy or move a file, it asks me for Administrator approval. I'm the sole user of this computer and there are no other users listed.


I tried Command Prompt > Run as Administrator and typed: net user administrator /active:yes but that didn't solve the problem.


What else can I try?

Windows 10 asks for administrator password

Hi Carl,

I suggest you to create a new user account and check if you face the same issue.

Here are the steps:

• 
  Go to Settings.
  
• 
  Choose Accounts and then select
  Family and other users.
  
• 
  Select add someone else on this PC.
  
• 
  Enter a user name and hit next.
  
• 
  Click on Finish.
  
• 
  Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
  

If you still face the issue, I suggest you to change the account type to administrator account by following the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on User accounts.
  
• 
  Under make changes to your account, click on
  Manage another account.
  
• 
  Select the account which you want to change.
  
• 
  Now click on change the account type.
  
• 
  Select Administrator
  and click on Change the Account Type to change the account type to administrator account.
  
• 
  Now check if you are able to perform the tasks.
  

Get back to us with the status of the issue.

Thank You.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows not recognizing ssd

Windows won't see the drive until it has been partitioned and formatted. Go into "Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management" and see if it's listed in the middle pane.
