A required privilege is not held by the client // help please
My problem: A required privilege is not held by the client shows up when I try to run any executable file. I am the only administrator on all household PC's. I have at least five Windows 10 PC's in the household.
For a couple of months I had my problem on only one desktop PC (v1909) which I have dealt with by using Safe Mode when I absolutely had to do so. As of today I can add one laptop (v2004) to my list with this problem. I read the one post that I could find and I tried the suggestion today on both of the problem PC's to no avail. (Tweaking.com's cautious repair tool, observing the cautious steps, and apply only the relevant fixes for permissions.) I have at least one other PC with v2004 and no privilege problem and at least one other PC with v1909 and no privilege problem.
Previously I had tried these six methods:
1. Run the Program as Administrator
2. Use Command Prompt to run the file
3. Disable The Admin Approval Mode
4. Disable UAC using Registry Editor
5. Change Sharing Permission
6. Take ownership of the Root Drive
Thank you for any new suggestions or known fixes . . . .
