  1. Windows changed the former administrator account.


    Hello ladies and gentlmen,

    I have encountered an extremely annoying problem. Yesterday, i signed in with my outlook mail into Windows feedback, just to try it. Everything was fine untill Windows changed the default Administrator (the one that was when launching Windows) with the new one (the one that i signed in with).
    Changing the administrator back was impossible. Every time i try to run an app There is a popup "Do you want to let this program make changes to your computer?", there are 2 options: Yes and No. However, Windows requests me to type the password, but there is no place to type it in, and the option "Yes" is faded. Nor i can change any permission settings: the same message pops up again.

    Any ideas? Help!

    :)

  2. Fingerprint scanner not working since Windows account was changed.

    Hi,

    I originally set up my account on Windows in a former email I used to use. I then changed the account to a different email because of a change of name. I then removed the former account, and gave my new account administrative powers. Thus, the newer account
    because the only account registered on my laptop. However, the computer is still acting as if I'm on the former account. For example, the command prompt displays the former account name, rather than the new account name. This is annoying me, because I am unable
    to use the fingerprint scanner to sign into my account. I attempt to set up the program because the option never appears after I enter my pin. This has been an ongoing problem ever since I changed accounts.

    Is there any way around this?

    User Account Control, how disable UAC for WIn 10

    My problem and the trouble disappeared and simply solved after two days challenge.

    As you mentioned to safe mode way generally and I have read about it either I fixed it by it

    I have done it as below for Windows 10:

    - Select Restart and press Shift key concurrent.

    - Select Start up Settings in Screen.

    - Select reboot with Network.

    - Go to Control Panel and User Account.

    - In the safe mode you will get a local Administrator temp for User Account Control.

    - Delete the former Administrator account with protected and forgotten password.

    - Change type former Standard Account with known password to
    Administrator
    one.

    Thanks Fredrick for your point.
