Hello guys ive ran into this problem quite randomly: Im the only account on my computer and it still says i am an admin but i cannot run a single process as an administrator, i cant even open task manager or cmd prompt as an admin. ive tried numerous google searches but most include opening up at least one setting that needs admin privileges so i am yet to find anything solution, im also unable to wipe my drive completely in hope that would fix it due to errors or needing admin rights.

Hi KallMeKai,

what version of Win 10 do you have?:


Have you tried a reset? (Backup all your important data before beginning!):

Are you the original owner, or is this recently purchased?
I am the original owner. all parts bought brand new and computer built by me, no one else has even used it, system even says the account (which is the only account) is an administrator account

If you are using a third party antivirus program, try disabling it.
Otherwise. if you are able, set up another user and try again

Not using any third party anti virus, tried to run malware thinking a virus some how disabled my admin privileges but cant due to malware needing admin privilege to download . also tried to set up another user, i tried to add a local user and got the first error, then tried the add family member option and get the second "error" have tried both multiple times on different days.

This was puzzling. What did you use to try this?
At the moment, it looks like your only option is a fresh install!
