Administrator disappeared?

My administrator (Windows 10) has disappeared,

probably after an update. I can now use programs

neither install nor uninstall . Some program icons

on the desktop have a small icon on the right,

they won't start now!!

I can no longer access my user account,

so I can't change anything there!

Sincerely, Dieter Henkel.

Hello,

This is usually not a huge drama.

You have several options here

You can start your PC in Safe Mode by starting your PC and repeatedly pressing F8 (or Shift+F8 on some systems; you'll have to experiment). After that, you can start Safe Mode. Then you can create a new admin account -> open Command Prompt (run as administrator!!!)

(Command to create a new account) -> net user NewAdmin /add

(to assign admin rights to the new account) -> net localgroup administrators NewAdmin /add

Then restart the PC and log in with this account and try again

or you can perform a general system restore to the state before the update.

-> Windows key + R

-> type rstrui and press Enter

-> then follow the instructions

greeting
