Edge can't open using built-in Admin account
Hello,
My office updated to Win 10 about three months ago. One of my co-workers has discovered that she can't boot Edge. I've tried these potential fixes, but still no go.
Fix #1:
1. >Win/R & type “secpol.msc” (no quotes); browse to:
>Local Policies, >Security Options, scroll to
User Account Control:Admin Approval Mode for Built-in Administrator Account and enable.
2. >Win/R & type “regedit” (no quotes); browse to:
>Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System\Audit
Change default value from empty to “0x0000000 (1)” (without quotes)
3. Reboot.
Fix #2:
1. Open elevated cmd prompt.
2. Enter:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
Wait for it.
3. Enter:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Wait for it.
4. Enter:
net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net stop cryptsvc
cd %systemroot%\system32
ren catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc
And…wait for it.
5. Re-enter:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
6. Reboot.
Fix #3:
1. Win/R “regedit” (no quotes).
2. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
3. Right click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
4. Right click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & select Permissions. Ensure that

5. Still in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, right click on HARDWARE & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
6. Still in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, right click on SAM & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
7. Still in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, right click on SECURITY & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for SYSTEM is set to Allow Full Control and Read.
8. Still in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, right click on SOFTWARE & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
9. Still in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, right click on SYSTEM & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
10. Right click on HKEY_USERS & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
11. Right click on HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG & select Permissions. Ensure that
Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES is set to Allow Read.
12. Reboot computer.
Last but not least, I enabled the hidden Admin account and tried to boot Edge from there. Got the same error message.
Any suggestions?
