I've lost some admin rights. Is that due to BitDefender ?
.
I installed the paid BitDefender a few days ago. I now think my Admin privileges are reduced. If so, how do I restore privileges - even if it's just on a temporary basis.
In Control Panel > User Accounts, I see:
- <me>
- Local Account
- Administrator
However, I believe that I can no longer do some of the things that I could do about a week ago.
Examples:
- I no longer have a "Second Admin" account on my login screen. (Purpose of account: to allow login if my primary account refused access.) I'm assuming that's because I no longer have the rights to create Admin accounts.
- I suspect that iDrive thinks I'm not an Admin. The "AppData" folder is marked in red, which means I'm not allowed to copy the contents. I've posted this issue on the iDrive forum.
- The WhatsApp link link on my desktop disappeared. I'm not allowed to access C:\Program Files\WindowsApps to replace the icon. But I can launch from the Start menu.
I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks.
