    Windows 10 Security won't recognize my admin account as admin


    I've been trying to install some third party apps, but windows SmartScreen always blocks me without the option to "Run Anyway." All the advice I can find when googling suggests to set "Check apps and files" to "Warn" in windows security - but this option is unavailable to me, as windows security fails to recognize me as an admin despite the fact that I clearly have an admin account (and can run everything else as admin). See the screenshots below. After much googling, I still cannot find any method that has worked. Is the only option to completely reset windows?

    Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

    Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

    The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

    I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

    Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

    What are your ideas?
