By-passing administrator sign in.
My HP p7-1003w desk top (running Windows 10 Home) suddenly started asking for administrator sign in when I want to add something to the system, whereas it never had before. After several attempts at trying to guess what my PW might be (I really don't think I ever set one up) the User Acct Control window that opens when you want to allow an app to make changes to your device now has only one option, "No," whereas in my earlier guessing attempts it had yes and no as options. Thinking that this might have been all brought on by an automatic Windows update or something, I tried to do a rollback, but I'm stymied there too because to do that I need to sign in as the admin. Is there a way in Windows 10 to get this acct control window back to its previous state with at least the "yes no" options, or, better yet, just by-pass the administrator acct sign in altogether? I'm the only owner and user of this machine. Why should I have to sign in as the administrator? Very frustrating.
