- Admin
- #1
I recently downloaded the Window Pro update to my Windows 7 laptop. I was not aware that Windows 8 would lock down my account. I am the only user of this computer so I never created a separate user account. Now when I attempt to open IE or many other applications,
such as the 'Store', I get the 'Application Can't Open---Store can't be opened using 'built-in administrator account try logging on with a different account'.
Well that would be fine except all my last two years of work are not available to any other account. Windows 8 turned my user account into a restricted admin.
Is there a way to change this set of restrictions? Can I enable this account to have access like before?
