Inderpland Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm trying to run some commands but get an error message when running some of them saying I need Admin rights but as far as I can see I'm already logged in as Admin. What have I gotten wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the prompt says C:\Users\ADMIN>. Doesn't this mean I'm already logged in as admin? And if not how do I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not how do I go about doing that? I'm afraid not. You are just in the ADMIN folder in command prompt window. You need to run the command prompt window in admin mode. Right click on the app icon to get the option as in the image above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting what comes up on your PC when you type CMD... I just check, that is what I see on my PC when I type CMD. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a man of your stature would have ConEmu64.exe, with Clink, pinned and config'd to run as Admin anyway. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
