Question WIn 10 cant run as administrator in Command Prompt.

[PeterPav]

I am signed as the administrator (I'm the only one using my computer) and when I go to the command prompt to run an SFC scan I'm not an administrator. Any solutions?

You need to run the Command Promt as Administrator.
Press Win+R to open the Run prompt, type in cmd, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
You will be prompted to allow the action to take place.

For the sake of thoroughness, here are a couple of other ways to invoke Command Prompt as admin:

WinKey+X,A [provided you've got command prompt, not PowerShell, in your WinKey+X menu]

Hit WinKey and immediately type cmd. When command prompt comes up as the first search result, right click on it and choose, Run as administrator.

You'll get the UAC prompt as to whether you want to allow changes any time you invoke either Command Prompt or PowerShell with admin privileges.
