How do I stop requiring admin permission? Tried all the usual steps.

I just got a fresh Windows 10 install, and I'm trying to make it so that I don't have to get administrator permission to move/delete/etc. files and folders in Program Files and whatnot.

Since I'm neither an imbecile nor lazy, I've of course spent a lot of time already Googling this. The problem with all the usual proposed solutions is that they seem to be designed for people who just want to override permission requirements on a case-by-case basis. What I want is to never ever have to provide administrator permission on anything.

My user account is already an administrator.

I have already disabled UAC.

I have tried right-clicking my entire C: drive, going to Properties>Security>Advanced>Change [Owner]>Advanced>[Select my username]>Okay>check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", but the problem with this approach is that it causes an error message for every single file in use (which I'm guessing is in the thousands), which states "An error occurred when applying security information to [file] ...The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.". I then have to click "continue" for it to proceed to the next file. I am not prepared to do this for presumably thousands upon thousands of in-use files just to be able to interact with my own files without being forced to ask permission from... myself.

On my old Windows 7 system I never had to deal with this nonsense. I could delete, move, modify files in any system folder without annoying prompts. Alas, I forget how I set that up (I know it's not like that out of the box) because it was so long ago.

Can anyone help me wrest control of my own computer without having to ask for permission from myself?

Changing ownership of all c is likely to brick your system. A lot of files and folders are owned by system which is above admin. It's there so you can't screw up the system and so Ransomes are and virus can't get in. If administration could change everything then so can virus or hackers

I'm aware why it's designed this way. I managed to go years in Windows 7 without requiring admin permissions and without bricking anything. My request is clear: I want to no longer require permission. How do I do that? I know I did it in Windows 7; I just don't recall how.
