Settings can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account
Settings can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account
To solve this, follow these steps:
Step1
For Windows 10 workstation
Navigate to your local security policy on your Windows 10 workstation – You can do this by typing secpol.msc at a search/run/command prompt.
Under Local Policies/Security Options navigate to “User Account Control Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account“
Set the policy to Enabled
Here is the reference Updated for Windows 10 Home User
Step2:
Updated for Windows 10 Home Users
For Windows 10 Home users, the local security policy editor doesn’t exist. However, most of the policy changes that can be made using the policy editor can also be made using the registry. I have not tested this on a Windows 10 Home system, however, changing this registry key should be the equivalent to enabling the policy above – See the UAC registry guide from Microsoft
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Create a DWORD value if it doesn’t already exist called FilterAdministratorToken
Set the value to 1
Next we need to navigate to the registry and make an additional change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\UIPI
Change the Default string key to 0x00000001(1)
Step3
Beside enabling "User Account Control Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account", you also should do this step:
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Set EnableLUA to 1, then the system will ask you to restart, and viola, the problem is solved for good.
