The ...cannot be opened with built-in administrator account problem
I am trying to help my neighbor upgrade to windows 10 from 8 (we have downgraded once because of these problems, and if I can't get this solved soon, I will have to do it again).
In 8 apparently, she was using the builtin admin account as her primary/only account, though this was not obvious. When I upgraded her, she started getting the error about apps (especially Edge) not being openable with the built in adminstrator account. So I tried to create a new microsoft account for her that was not the administrator account. But I can't do that, because when creating a new account, it tries to use edge. I tried moving the default browser to chrome, to see if that would help (she can access chrome), but apparently the control panel doesn't recognize that setting.
This is windows 10 home, so I can't use the secpol solution I have found on various forums. I really don't want to edit the registry.
I would prefer a solution that creates a non-administrator account for her to use, but if I have to first enable more access to the administrator account and then create a new account, that would be a pain, but would work.
