admin permissions

[Guest]

OK - New laptop and new operating system. Be patient please.

I have logged myself in as "Owner". Evidently it IS an administrator
position, so there is no issue there [hopefully].

The issue is, that in trying to update some programs or perform some tasks,
I get an intercept that tells me that I have to have "administrator
permission to perform that task".

It's probably something very simple that I'm missing, but can't seem to cure
it - Any suggestions?

Hello,

OK - New laptop and new operating system. Be patient please.

I have logged myself in as "Owner". Evidently it IS an administrator
position, so there is no issue there [hopefully].

also a member of Administrators group is now a bit limited. You will have to
confirm administrative tasks, and even in this case you may not succeed
sometimes with applications.

The issue is, that in trying to update some programs or perform some
tasks, I get an intercept that tells me that I have to have
"administrator permission to perform that task".

It's probably something very simple that I'm missing, but can't seem
to cure it - Any suggestions?

In the most cases may help a right click on the application and select Run
as Administrator from the context menu.
Best greetings from Germany
