Can I please rant? So my Acer Computer started misbehaving and turned my firewall off by itself a few weeks ago. After that, the dumb thing decided to revoke my admin rights, and since I was the ONLY admin, I have zilch admin privileges, can't download any apps, and can't make any new user profiles.

How in the living fuk am I supposed to do my schoolwork and homework for school on a piece of sht computer I paid lots of money for? I have tried the built-in admin trick, and it did NOT work. My other user account I can NOT open, as Windows 10 states that "you need an app to open this".

I've been there. If it's possible, might be time to try Linux Mint

Are your microsoft account linked to a family account by any chance?

I have never heard of a similar problem that did not involve some outside management like family or corporate administered computer.

Lemme guess.

IME.

Also, turn off auto-login, boot Hiren's (use another PC to make media), replace %WINDIR%\system32\sethc.exe with a copy of cmd (repeat for your locale folder) and mash Shift at the logon screen, `net` to re-rights. As long as you never use `sfc`, that backdoor will remain, too.

I had the same problem with firewall. Use tweaking.com repair tool, it's good.
