Hey all, I've been having some quite annoying issues with Windows 10. I can't seem to open anything in admin, so I can't add an account to see if it's just my account or what. I can't open settings, the start menu, task manager, or really anything that's necessary. I need to install drivers for my GPU and that's when I noticed that this started happening. I'm sure you can all appreciate how annoying this issue must be.
