Cannot install any program or make any change on my standard account

Hello

So I recently reinstalled my Windows, the installation was not made by me. This person created one account we'll call user for simplicity, giving him Admin privileges.

When I noticed it, I created another Admin account and demoted user a standard account. But now, when I tried to install any program, I have some sort of error: "unable to write to the file...". ", I also tried to delete a random file/shortcut and got some kind of error saying that the system is allowed to do this.

Is there a way to fix this?

I had rather not my experience of user account with administrative privileges for obvious reason. What I want is just having the system queries the user the Admin password when you install a program, at least, to have access to what is in the directory of the user.

Thank you for reading this and help me

Hello Nelson.

Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

According to the description, you can not install any program or cannot make changes on your system.

An administrator account is a user account which allows you to make changes that will affect other users. Administrators can change security settings, install software and hardware, and access all files on the computer. Administrators can also make changes to other user accounts.

As you have an administrator account on your system. I suggest you follow the steps below and check if it helps:

1. right click on the Start button and select (Admin) command prompt.

2. on the command line type: net user administrator / Active: Yes and press enter on your keyboard.

This will allow your construction in the administrator account. Restart your computer and log in with the administrator account. Once you are in the Build in Administrator account, you can change the type of original Standard user to administrator account administrator and save it.

Once you have made the changes successfully, the Build in administrator to disable the account by following the steps below:

1. right click on the Start button and select (admin) command prompt.

2. on the command line type: net user administrator / Active: no and press enter on your keyboard.

This will disable the build in the administrator account. Restart and log in with your user account.

Hope the above information has been useful. If you need assistance, please let us know and we would be happy to help you.

  • Cannot install any os in a hp pavilion dv5 - 1120ev

    Hi, my friend has an hp pavilion dv5 - 1120ev, he had top, pre installed windows vista. He asked me that if I could make the computer faster, so I told him, of course, you need to change OS to do this, you must install windows 7, I said. So I took with me, put windows 7 dvd, boot from the cd/dvd drive, deleted all partitions, even the recovery partition (I didn't know it came without a copy of disk recovery tools), partitioned the drive into 2 two new partitions, formatted and continued to install the os on the primary. The dvd that I used has all versions of windows 7, 32 and 64 bit, tried all, it gets stuck on the process of expansion, to 0% files (only with one version, she was 14%, I can't remember which), and it gives me the "windows cannot install required files. the file may be corrupted or missing. "Sure... error code: 0 x 80070017. Then, I tried with another dvd with winodws 7 ultimate, same thing. I also tried with the disc do not split into two, one partition, just in case windows is having problems expanding all of the files, just in case, same thing. Then I thought it was a bios thing, he had to be updated, which to be honest there cause of the version it is F.0C, and in the support section of the hp site, I found a newer version of it, which is also described as necessary for the latest operating system upgrade. I thought wow, that's it, I found it, I will upload a version of it bootable, version bootable cd to be precise, cause the bios version there back does not support booting from usb devices, I'll update it and install the operating system. NOPE. The site has an exe of the bios version. I tried to make a disk bootable with the bios in there (with the option of nero boot disc), I guess that I've not done it right, it could be a solution, but I could use some help on this. I also tried to install windows xp, so that I can install it the update of the bios, the same thing, I get the same error, only with the old blue sceen scholl. Finally, I tried to install windows vista Home premium, just in case the bios for a reason any has only accepted this operating system, no way, same error again! So now I'm not stuck wth no operating system, a pc unusable, nothing can be installed on it. I asked my friend that if the cd/dvd drive had some kind of problem, he said, had no problem with game discs, their loading and installation of games. Please HELP I don't know what to do! Thank you

    Nevermind, I managed to solve the problem by taking the hard drive, put it in another phone and the windows installation, then put it back. It worked like charm, so the problem is 100% on the DVD player.

    Thank you

    There is a built-in Windows 8 and 8.1 Win system administrator account. You must enable it first.

    Start the command prompt (black box).

  • Cannot install old programs insce change computer Windows 7

    I have a lot of games and programs that are not installed on my computer.   I have a new Windows 7 and slowly tried to reinstall many of my programs and games.  For the most part, I get the message is not Compatible with this system.  Contact software manufacturer.  If I knew that this could happen I have would have never updated to Windows 7.  I tried the resolution of compatibility issues, but even with that, I can not install this program.

    You have several options.  First, you can upgrade the programs if there are compatible with Windows 7 versions.  Second, you can try to install in compatibility mode.  Third, you can install XP Mode if you have the version professional, enterprise or ultimate edition of Windows 7 and can live with the graphs (color resolution and 16 bit about 900 x 768).

    Good luck.

    Hi MarvReinke

     

    1. you are the administrator of the computer?
    2 do you have standard user permissions to install programs?

    It seems that this administrator has blocked installation of programs on the computer. (UAC) user account controls have been set accordingly. If you are the computer administrator, you can try to connect as an administrator and see if you can install the programs correctly. You can also try to change UAC settings to solve the problem.

  • XP administrator cannot install new programs

    When I try to install a program I get an error

    "You must be logged in as an administrator to install this program."

    I am the only user of XP Home and am registered as an administrator of the computer. I used system restore to go back to a time when this error does not appear, but after the restoration of the system, I got the same error message. I created a new account with administrative privileges with the same error. SafeMode worked OK. I used regedit to verify permissions, and they indicate that I have administrator privileges.

    I ran SFC and tested the equipment without any problem. I finally realized I had saved the registry with ERDN every day so I went back at the same time (more than four weeks ago) where the problem has not produced and found that the problem started after I had installed and then uninstalled Comodo firewall but had never removed from my computer. I used Revo uninstaller uninstall, restarted the computer and the problem disappeared.

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Cannot install some programs-can't create the output file in the AppData\Local\Temp user account

    When I try to install a program (.exe) it works winzip Self-extractor, which attempts to create a file in the directory Users\ (myusername) \AppData\Local\Temp\setup.exe

    I just installed windows 7 and had to happen one or two times before that, I think, but I re-uploaded the file and I tried again and it ended up working. Now when I try to install this program (Hava), he says that it is unable to create the output file.

    When I try to go to this place it doesn't even have the AppData folder I have to first create this path or is it a problem with the program? Any help is appreciated. Touch Pro

    Well, that's possible. As WinZip SFX has a small option to overwrite without confirmation box.

    You can move forward with delete the file setup.exe from the Temp folder in the sound is no longer used by any program (where its in the Temp folder)

    You can also try now is, since its opening a WinZIP Self Extracting Archive, you can try manually, and manually specify where to extract the files before you click ok.

    Once you do this, just run setup.exe from the specified location.
