Hi,
How do I fix this issue Not able to run programs in Run As Admin mode from start menu?
This applies to all programs but I go to Win\sys32\cmd.exe and right click I am able to run as admin that way but nothing from the start menu.
I read someone saying make a new user account. But I can't be bothered just someone please tell me the fix?
It's nothing to do with a missing consent.exe in the windows folder.
Using Windows 10 Pro
ESET AV
Malwarebytes
I have done a sfc /scannow , DISM reimage. Nothing helps, I don't to format and reinstall all my programs.
I need possible fixes. Please just someone say run this command or install this patch.
Could this be a privileges issue with my user account? It is an admin account.
Thx

this can be disabled by a group policy, so perhaps you are in a domain?
How to Add or Remove 'Run as different user' Context Menu on Start in Windows 10

Just right click the shortcut, select "More" and then "Run as Administrator".
If you always want to run it in admin mode, open C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create a new shortcut or modify an existing one. In properties, select advanced and check run as administrator.

Hi,
According to my know, cmd.exe is not exists in start menu by default, so how did you add cmd.exe to start menu? (Through pin cmd.exe to it or others)
Does the issue occur on other desktop applications?
What's the existing system build? Try to run "winver" to check the details.
Are there any error message occur when you click run as administrator through start menu?
Please try to check with another user account, it would be bothered but helpful for narrow down this issue.
Open powershell as administrator and run the following command line to check.
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hi
I just clicked on start menu and typed cmd.exe and it appears then right mouse click select run as administrator and nothing happens, the same for all other apps/programs windows or 3rd party.
Same in safe mode.
Winver Version 1803 OS Build 17134.320.
The option run as administrator is there but is does nothing.
Help please.
Also Security Center recently is set to Automatic delayed in Services.msc and it takes ages to start sometimes but not all, I am not able to change to Automatic all options are greyed out. So I tried..
sc.exe config wscsvc start= auto
and I get access is denied
Is this related? How do I fix that?
Thx

It sounds like the account that are logged in with is not a member of the administrators group.

@motox80 of course you do not need to be logged in as administrator for Runas.

Well then he has something else broken, and without access to his system or at least a decent error message to go on, we're just guessing. I always put my account in the admins group, and let UAC prompt me for approval for anything that wants admin level access. My suggestion is to try that and see what happens.
Tuesday, October 9, 2018 5:51 PM
Hi,
thx. tried it just now already listed as admin. i removed it and added again, did not fix though.
There is no error message.
anything else I could try?
thx

Is UAC set to the default?
Tuesday, October 9, 2018 6:02 PM
Hi,
The exact same as in your screengrab.
thx

Launch a cmd prompt as the local administrator account.
runas /user:mymachine\administrator cmd.exe
From there run compmgmt.msc. You should now be able to start and stop services. Check the system event log for UAC events. Also check the Event Viewer\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\UAC\Operational.

Hi,
I am still not able to start and stop services from compmgmt.msc as admin.
But I do see something in event viewer.

If you can't get administrator rights you are limited as to what you can fix. Try rebooting and log on to the desktop as the administrator account. Verify that the account is listed in the administrators group.
See if you can turn off UAC. Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and change the value EnableLUA to 0.
Reboot and try again.

Hi,
Is it a domain joined computer or local computer?
Try to create a new administrator user account and check if the issue occur again.
Please notice if Event ID 10016 recorded once you run application as administrator in start menu.
For fix event ID 10016, we could refer to the following link:
Fix Error 10016 in Windows Event Viewer

Hi,
Tried fix error 10016 could not do it. I have come to the conclusion that nothing is running in admin mode even when I find the exe I want and right click and I click OK on Do you want to allow this program to make chnage to the system as when you try to run a cmd or powershell script you get denied errors.
Also tried Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe\OpenWithList] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe\OpenWithProgids] "exefile"=hex(0):
Was ^^^ safe to do? System Restore will not work either and also import the backed up reg file will not work either?
Is there no way to re-establish admin rights or whatever is ****ed up?
If I create a new user will I be able to move stuff like Docs and Download and Favorites AND will I be able to DELETE the old user and all its folders if so how?
thx

I have:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe" /s
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe\OpenWithList
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exe\OpenWithProgids
exefile REG_NONE
As far as creating a new user, you really need to create an account that has administrator rights. But you will need admin rights in order to do that, and that's the problem that you are having. You can certainly give it a try.
Were you able to logon to the desktop with the builtin administrator account?

Hi,
"Tried fix error 10016 could not do it."
You have tried the steps recorded in the upper reference link, but the issue persists, right?
According to my know, Event ID 10016 is caused as no sufficient privilege. Please make sure you have taken owner ship of the corresponding CLSID and APPID successfully.
If the issue persists, please try to reproduce your action and monitor the process withProcess Monitor tool.
