Since my upgrade to Windows 10 Pro I am having intermittent problems running various tools (Group Policy Management Console, EventCombMT) as Administrator. I right click the tool and choose Run As Administrator and then receive the below message. I am not prompted for my Admin credentials.
I can launch the tool with no problem as a standard user. I am logged in as standard user.
If I keep trying eventually the tool will open properly as ad Admin.
This happens with MMC based tools and stand alone tools. This happens with local tools as well as tools stored on a network drive.
I can verify UAC is still enabled at the default level of "Default - Always Notify me when:"
Additionally, a reboot fixes this issue but I cannot keep rebooting whenever this issue pops up.
Anybody else having this issue?

Hello,
I've never heard of this problem, but can understand that it has something in relation with remembered connection. Using reference of this support article, try removing remembered connections and see if it could help you:

Thank you.
I have since rebooted to temporarily resolve this issue but the next time it comes up I will try your recommendation and report back.

I am now experiencing the problem again.
"Net Use" shows I have 3 mapped drives all that show "Unavailable". However if I open up file explorer I can navigate each of my mapped network drives even though all drives have a big red X on them. I can navigate the mapped drives via the command prompt as well.
Some of the tools that I am trying to open exists on these network drives, but then again some are local MMC programs.
Anybody else having this issue?

Hi,
For the error message, the explanation is that A privilege that the service requires to function properly does not exist in the service account configuration. You may use the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in (services.msc) and the Local Security Settings MMC snap-in (secpol.msc) to view the service configuration and the account configuration.

What specifically would I be looking for in services.msc and secpol.msc?
