    [Windows Update] Permission error and unable to log in to built-in Administrator account


    So let's get straight to the point, I can't update my Windows. When I opened Windows Update settings, the display displayed `Something went wrong, Try to reopen Settings later.`image1.pngSo of course I was patient and waited, but it's been a week and my update display is still like that. So I tried running troubleshooting for Windows Update and yes... I got an error :troubleshoot.pdf*I printed the error as a PDFKnowing that, I tried to find a way to fix it, some of the ways I found were:image2.pngActivate the `Orchestrator Services Property` service, and yes, this service is disabled on my Win

    no administrator permission

    Hi Ryan,

    Let us assist you to have an Administrator permission. To start, follow the steps below to enable the Windows Super Administrator Account.

    • Type CMD on the search box.
    • CMD will appear at top.
    • Right click on it, then choose Run as administrator.
    • Type this command & hit Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes.
    • After you enable the Super Administrator account, log out on your existing account then log into Super Administrator account.
    • On the Super Administrator account, you can now create an Administrator account or give Administrator permission on the existing account.

    After you created an Administrator account, we suggest that you disable the Super Administrator account by following the same steps and using this command:
    Net user administrator /active:no.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    unable to log in to Windows 10 administrator account

    In this case, we suggest that you to enable the built in administrator account on your computer. Using the hidden administrator account, you can set the standard user back into an administrator account. Follow the steps below to easily enable the built in
    administrator account:

    • Open an elevated Command Prompt by pressing Windows + X then select
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • On the Command Prompt, type Net user administrator /active:yes.
    • Close the Command Prompt. The built in administrator account can now be accessed by clicking your user name on Start and then click on
      Administrator account. The Administrator account will also appear on the login screen.
    Note: To disable the built administrator account, simply type Net user administrator /active:no on elevated
    Command Prompt, as this is not advised to use be used as the a normal administrator account.


    We're glad to assist if you have further concerns.
