Help! Cannot access the user account control settings!

I have disabled UAC today because I wanted to delete some files. However, it did not work so I went back and tried to click on UAC to allow him once again, but I can't. The UAC window is not pop up. Help please!

I also created a new account but I couldn't access the UAC on this account either. I restarted my computer 2 times already. What should I do?

Here you go:

1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
2. select Repair from the menu.
3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.

  • Cannot access the user account

    I recently sent my computer in my college of departmental it to update some software. They could not access my account due to a password. They bi - passed this by making two accounts 'Test' and 'comments'. If I'm going to one of these accounts I can go to c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes and I can see my old account named "owner". However when I connect 'owner' is not an option for a click for a login account. All my old files are always under the account of 'owner '. How can I get back "owner" as I use an account to which?

    Difficulty of a corrupted user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  • Need to change user account control settings, but cannot access (windows 7Prof.-64 bits)

    Hello

    With Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop

    I am the 'Standard user' and the only user of my laptop.  I don't know if I have an administrator account.  I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).  But I remember he was causing Windows always show both accounts and choose one to log-in to.  I didn't want no choice since I am the only user of the laptop, so I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    There are so many programs that I can not open because the user account control box "do allow you the following program to make changes...?   The choice of 'Yes' is NEVER highlighted or available - that the choice of the 'no' can be clicked.  And the same dialogue box asks also but it is not a place to type the password "Administrator".  I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    And I am referring to all kinds of programs that can not open, as "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" that I downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.  Or I went into control panel 'User account', but try clicking on 'Change settings User Account Control' brings the same view, "do allow you the following program to make changes to the computer?  Or when, on the page of computer system, I can't access 'Advanced System Settings' due to the same dialog box.

    How to solve this problem?  I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.  I looked through other similar topics here (only Windows 7 partners), and some seek to make changes to the registry.  It's very intimidating for me.  I'm not a computer scientist at all, but fairly intuitive with the computer.  The problem cornered me.  Another opinion on a thread is said to use "Fix It".  This program is no longer available (we now 2016).  I also experienced this problem all this time but am pretty frustrated and wanted to try the job.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    I hope someone can provide some less intimidating process that touch the registry to fix this.  I really appreciate it.

    Thank you!

    I could have or something with a similar name when first setting up laptop and loading Windows program (a few years ago).

    -> Yes, you did.

    I understood how to make to get rid of the other account (admin?) and kept the Standard user because 'Help' instructions, said it should be used.

    -> It was a bad decision. It was equivalent to throw out your safe master key. There is a much better method to avoid the choice between multiple accounts.

    I don't even have a Director. Password, or a password to the Standard user account.

    -> You had an admin password when your first install Windows.

    I'd rather not have the choice of Auditors when Windows opens.

    -> It takes 30 seconds to remove this choice, without loss of the admin account.

    Some seek to make changes to the registry.

    -> Hacking the registry does not restore your account admin. 'Fix It' will not fix it either.

    Should I re - load the Windows program and do something else?

    -> Your first step must be to determine what accounts you have and whether they are active. It is done as follows:

    1. Mark the first line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    2. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
    3. Marks of the second line of code below with your mouse, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    4. Click the Start button, press Ctrl + V to paste the code in the run box, and then press ENTER.
    5. Open the desktop Accounts.txt file, then copy & paste its contents into your answer.

    cmd.exe /c users > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

    cmd.exe /c net localgroup administrators > '% userprofile%\Desktop\Accounts.txt '.

  • The Windows 7 user account control settings does not open

    Hello

    Someone knows a problem where a computer launches the application "change user account control settings?  We are dev work on multiple PCs and need to disable this feature.  Normally, I would run the UAC and just drag the bar down, but I can't even the application to load.  I even tried running: C:\Windows\System32\userAccountControlSetings.exe and it does nothing.

    Thank you
    Sean

    Well, I was not able to understand why the window UAC doesn't appear, however, I managed to disable UAC via the local policy settings.  For reference purposes:

    1. Start > run > gpedit.msc
    2. Computer configuration > Windows settings > security settings > local policies > Security Options
    3. Then define:
    4. User account control: behavior of the guest of elevation for administrators in Admin Approval Mode – set its value toElevate without asking for confirmation.
    5. User account control: detect application installations and prompt for elevation - set its value todisabled.
    6. User account control: only elevate the UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations - set its value todisabled.
    7. User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode - set its value todisabled.

  • The language bar shows when the user account control appears, supposed to be hidden.

    I've been looking for an answer to this one so vain if this question has already been answered please point me in the right direction. I chose to hide the language bar after a reinstall of windows 7, but whenever the user account control appears I see the language bar sitting there, mocking me. I don't see any option to close, only to hide. It does not show during normal activity, only when the user account control POPs asking if I want to allow a program to run. It's driving me crazy.

    Thanks in advance

    Old post I know but I cannot believe no one could help you guys, I recently noticed this was happening on my pc, have no idea why, but I guess it was something to do with installation/un-installing new software. In any case, here is the solution, because I don't think that these guys have a clue of what you're going on, of course, lol.

    Click on:

    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Clock, language and region
    Regional and Language Options
    Keyboards and languages
    Change keyboards...
    Language bar
    Hidden
    Ok

    Now return to the regional and language options and then click:

    Administrative
    Copy to reserved accounts

    * Type password *, click on:

    System accounts
    Ok
    Ok

    If for any reason any you do not see a password for copy to reserved accounts, and instead, option you have this pop up with checkboxes:

    Copy your regional and language settings to these accounts:

    Default user account (new users)
    System accounts (local system, local service, and network service)
    Just check the two of them and ok.

    There's no more annoying language on UAC bar more.

    Please, don't say "user account" when you hear the user account control. They are 2 different things.
    Tell the UAC if you wish.

    Take a look at this tutorial

    Try to find that the problem with the user account is probably not worth the time it would take. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted, choose to log in to the administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts. Create a new account here. Name anything at random for now. Now navigate to my computer > C drive open > Documents and Settings folder. Your old user account. Now locate all records containing your files. Copy and paste them in the folder appropriate for the new account. Now delete the old account.  You can now change the name of the new account name you had in the old account. It is probably the best way to fix it.

    This behavior is usually indicative of a virus or Trojan that blocks access to your security settings.  If you do not have an antivirus program, or if it has expired, I recommend that you use the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (unique tool that is not 'install') and Microsoft Security Essentials (a current anti-virus program that is free and always will be).
