So as the title says, I'm the only user on this computer and have always been. Recently when trying to save something to my C drive or any of its subfolders I would get an error that I dont have the necessary permission to save in this location and should contact my administrator. I tried changing ownership and now I can save files on the drive after allowing it through the admin dialogue, but installers cant save things there even if I start them as admin.

The installer gives me the error "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."


This is really frustrating as I obviously am the admin of the computer but cant use my main drive because I don't have enough privileges.

I hope someone has a solution to this... Thanks :)
