  Hi kuentin,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

  When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

  There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

  (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

  (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

  (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

  (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

  I suggest you go to the link below and read for more information on user accounts.

• Windows 10 continues to change user account controls

  Why windows done 10. change user account controls, it's extremely annoying. Whenever I reboot it disables it, which blocks all applications. Why he won't stay where I leave it?

  While I can only say that malware has installed a utility that removes the UAC setting when Windows loading [in the hope that you don't notice the change, and that malicious software can therefore go further by installing other malware without bringing a challenge Admin dialog box].  This problem was reported some time ago and finally diagnosed as a symptom of malware - see Windows 7 UAC (user access control) is disabled on every reboot

  In addition to a full scan with your antivirus installed utility, download and run a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free [MBAM].  It is much more difficult for malware to hide its presence of two scanners different antimalware.  MBAM can exist alongside other anti-malware utilities, so it won't be a problem.

  Of course, it could be an anomaly in the system instead, but it's not that I've seen reported in this forum before.  Windows has no integrated procedure that changes the setting of the UAC, so it is difficult to envisage any procedure through to cause this symptom.

  Please specify the operating system you are using and use blue change control under your question of re - categorize it as a matter of Windows if necessary 10.

  Good luck

• 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.
