Help! My Windows 11 PC Thinks I’m Not an Admin After Making Changes

Asked By TechieTinker123 On

I recently updated my PC to Windows 11 version 25h2, but before that, I had issues with my keyboard glitching and inputting random characters for my PIN. I followed some advice online to delete the Ngc folder, and while I couldn't delete it, I had to change some admin permissions to rename it, which fixed the PIN issue. However, now my computer thinks I'm not an admin! I can't move files to my desktop or update apps without permission. What steps can I take to restore my admin rights?

Sounds like a tricky situation! When you changed those admin settings, it might have messed up some of your permissions. Before doing anything drastic, try running the command prompt as an administrator and use the command `sfc /scannow` to repair any possible system file issues. If that doesn’t work, you may need to consider reinstalling Windows, but ensure you back up your files first!

Yikes, that sounds frustrating! You seem to have taken a few risky steps altering those permissions. If you can't get your admin rights back easily, a clean install of Windows might be your best bet. In the future, it’s best to stick to user-friendly tweaks unless you're certain about what you’re changing.

Hey there! It seems like you might have renamed or deleted important system folders. The safest route is to back up your data and do a fresh install of Windows. I know it sounds extreme, but it’ll clear up any permission issues you might be facing now. Just make sure to avoid tinkering with system files in the future!
