I tried to customize my Windows 11 setup using a tool called "UAC Revert Tweaker," and now I've lost access to all my admin permissions. I can't reset, restore, or even open an admin command prompt anymore. Is there any way to fix this, or am I totally out of luck?

If you're really unsure about what the tweaker did to your system and there's no info available, your safest bet might be to completely reformat your drive and reinstall Windows using a bootable USB. Restoring UAC without fully understanding the changes made could leave your system vulnerable, so I'd be cautious with that approach.
Before diving into anything drastic, try checking if you have a restore point saved. Those have saved me a lot in the past, and sometimes mods will create one automatically. If that doesn't work, creating a new user account might be a quick fix too. Just transfer your files to the new account and delete the old one if necessary.
Always make sure to back up your data before messing with system settings! For future mods, having a restore point could save you a lot of hassle. If you're really stuck, you can also look into doing an in-place upgrade for Windows, which could reset your settings while keeping your files intact.
