Checking Windows 11 admin rights Ensuring proper permissions Administrative access requirements
Checking Windows 11 admin rights Ensuring proper permissions Administrative access requirements
Hi.
I am a newbee into Win 11 just upgraded 3 days ago.
I was an administrator on Win 10 and show that I am on Win11 also.
I cannot load various commands using win 11 privileges. Right Click on Command prompt
and pick administrator privileges sends me to the user sub-directory instead of system32.
Trying to load disk management or computer management just sits there and fails to load the managers although typing in "Disk Partition" takes me to Disk management. I am identified as an administrator when running setup thru the Bios and my user settings state I am the administrator.
Am I missing something? It's not a big deal, I'm just getting to know Win 11 and there are workarounds to this issue. This is a home built gaming PC and I never had this issue with win 10.
Thanks for the support.
Hi. I've been planning to upgrade to win 11 for about half a year after setting up my drives for the requirement. Just now I chose to stop and do the upgrade three days ago. The process went well, there were no performance problems, and I'm actually seeing higher FPS in Starfield compared to what I got on Win 10. Windows update kept saying an update was available, but I'm not facing any major issues—just some minor annoyances. I have six days before I need to revert to Win 10. Appreciate your response.
Hi,
I updated my post at 1:03 pm and found others facing the same problem. One solution is to make a shortcut to the files command prompt and disk management, then put them on the desktop. I set these up and both work with admin rights. It’s a simple fix, but why isn’t the regular method effective? I’ve already messaged Microsoft for more info.
Thanks!
