App can't be opened using the built-in administrator account.
I was getting UAC shields appearing on some of the icons. I found the solution how to get rid of them by going to the "Local Security Policy" > Local Policies > Security Options and disabling:
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
And of course I ran into the bigger issue. I can't open any windows related app. This is what is says (see above). If I re-enable the policy, the programs work again, but the shields appear again. I really don't want them and they bother me and as far as I have researched this is the only solution I found that is working.
Now back to the blue message. I have tried creating a new user and giving it admin rights. Still got the blue message. Then I tried disabling the built-in administrator with this method here. Restarted PC, still the same result.
I really ran out of options. Can somebody smarter than me please help me resolve this problem.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
My Local Security Policy list here
P.S. I did not upgrage to Windows 10 from earlier versions, I built PC from scratch and booted from usb.
Follow up!
People have suggested me to reinstall windows/do a clean install. So I did create a new bootable usb with completely different build and got the same result.
I think that this is a huge flaw with windows 10 and I'm really looking forward to solving this issue. Smartest people here please help me!
Also note that I'm not using Built-in administrator account. I'm local Administrator.
