Windows 10: Winrar activated as admin but when you log out to user it is no longer

Winrar activated as admin but when you log out to user it is no longer activated in windows 10 this Windows 10 is a real pain in the ass.

Can anyone help it is really annoying please, I have tried everything in the book, as admin my key shows as associated with winrar as it should, however logged in as user it is associated with Notepad and I cannot change the association of the file as a user.

User type locked to Admin, but have no admin privileges, cannot get permission to do many things (Windows 10)

Hi,



It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

• Do you get any error message when you try to save a file on any folder?
• What is the complete and exact error message?
• Which files are you referring to?
  

I would suggest you to check if your user account is configured as an Administrator account.



Please provide us more information to assist you better.

As the title says, my user account is set as admin, however, since installing Windows 10 ALL of my admin permissions have been taken away for god knows what reason, and I cannot edit or change or add new files to many of my folders, hell, I can't even move
my desktop shortcuts because it won't allow me.

If you could shed any light onto this problem, it would be most appreciated.

 

It may be a situation that existed in earlier Windows in that the program had to be installed for All Users by someone logged in as an administrator/with administrative rights, not the actual, usually hidden, Administrator

 

Yep but how do I solve it thats the question, it seems I am going to have to stay in as administrator and remove everything that will not work ie: Edge and a few other things, this is really annoying.

 

T'were me I'd uninstall Winrar, assure I was logged onto the computer as a User with administrative rights [usually the default User on a new install] and reinstall Winrar for all users. A Standard User doesn't have that capability and the full Administrator is a Hidden account on purpose.

 

WinRAR writes to the registry -
to avoid this use the portable method of using WinRAR.ini
WinRAR.ini and rarreg.key are required to be in same folder as WinRAR.exe

 

Thank you I sorted it Windows 10 was corrupt so I had to re install it, working now.
