In Windows 8.1: I'm an administrator but I don't have administrator privileges? I observed that, even after changing the UAC(User Access control) to Never Notify, still some programs are not run under full privileges. The problem is Security policy in Windows 8/8.1. Every administrator other than built in administrator must run all the applications in Admin approval mode. Steps to disable the admin approval mode is find below.
- Type secpol.msc in the Start Menu and press Enter.
- Double click on Local Policies then double click on Security Options.
- Scroll to the bottom to this entry -User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin approval mode.
- Double click that line.
- Set it to disabled then press OK.
- Reboot.
UAC(User Access Control) options are
Enabled: (Default) Admin Approval Mode is enabled. This policy must be enabled and related UAC policy settings must also be set appropriately to allow the built-in Administrator account and all other users who are members of the Administrators group to run in Admin Approval Mode.
Disabled: Admin Approval Mode and all related UAC policy settings are disabled. Note: If this policy setting is disabled, the Security Center notifies you that the overall security of the operating system has been reduced.
Warning: Metro apps will not work after disabling Admin approval mode. You need enable and restart machine again to run metro apps.
