    "You need to provide administrator permissions"


    So, as I say, when I turned my PC on, Windows told me that I have an important update in my pc, and I had to go to PC settings to install it. I clicked to install, but it was stuck on preparing to install sadly i didnt find a single fix :[ and I closed that and went to control panel Windows Update, it was stuck on that too, and when i clicked stop installing, it said "you need to provide administrator permissions", even though I'm in my admin account? It is really frustrating me. To whoever who solves this problem, thank you and here's some chocolate for you!Also this is on Windows 8.1

    :)
