  1. Windows 10: "This PC" -> "Manage" doesn't ask for Administrator rights


    Hello,


    Does anyone know if Microsoft will ever fix this little bug ?


    The "My Computer" desktop icon now renamed to "This PC", has under the Right-Click menu, "Manage" - which invokes the "Computer Management" snap-in. However, if you're using a non-Admin account, and wish to use operations such as "Device Manager", or "Disk Management" - there's no way to switch to an Admin account unless by launching those individual snap-ins/extensions individually or the Computer Management Console app itself using an Admin account.


    What's missing a rights elevation Shield and corresponding prompt alongside the "Manage" menu option - such as can be seen when you select Properties instead and see alongside the "Device Manager, "Remote settings", etc... options.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows 10: "This PC" -> "Manage" doesn't ask for Administrator rights

    Windows doesn't see my DVD ROM

    Is it listed in Computer Management, under Administrative tools? Look at disk management too see if it is listed.
