How to Enable "Full Control Permissions" Under Windows 10?

[Avagadro1]

I recently built a new computer and installed Windows 10 as (sole) user and Administrator.

Unlike my former Windows XP, where a few check marks in the “Security>Permissions” dialog gave me “FULL CONTROL” over everything, I have not been able to achieve that total control under Windows 10. There are lots of things where I am subject to the “nag” dialog to execute something as Administrator. Lots of other things I wish to do or changes I wish to make will not execute --- probably because I cannot get the “Security/Permissions” dialog to give Full Control to everyone (or as much as possible).

Do you think entering Windows through “Safe Mode” (which I have not done in years and may not remember how) would allow me to provide Full Control Permissions as I would prefer? How about some other means to my ends.

Thank you for any assistance.

UAC (Every MS OS after XP) is a good thing.

Change uac to never notify will get rid of most the popups. Most people should leave it alone for security purposes.

I am aware of the UAC and have it at the lowest setting. But my inquiry refers to FULL CONTROL under the Security Tabs of "This Computer" or any folder thereunder.

Thank you.

It wasn't clear that that was all you wanted was to check that box. Are you unable to select full control? In that case, http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-take-ownership-and-get-full-access-to-files-and-folders-in-windows-10/
