Hi.
So, after having an absolutely torrid time (nearly 2 hours) with a clueless agent on the Microsoft app i thought i'd try here as i'm so desperate now. It's a bit long-winded so bear with me.
Ever since my Windows 10 updated to version 1709 i have had failures installing every other update since. 1803 being the first time it came to light. It went through the installing but then always reverted to previous version as it wouldn't recognise my passwords or anything. Well, since then i have been searching for solutions all of which required Administrator permissions which, i thought, being the administrator should be fine but no, even though i WAS the administrator it wouldn't recognise me as such, therefore i couldn't carry out the many "fixes" i was advised to try. Well one guy on a tech forum suggested changing my user account to standard then back again to Admin and without thinking i did that. Now i can't switch back to Admin because every step needed to do so requires Admin permissions! I can't even do a clean re-install of Windows 10 which i didn't want to but resigned myself to that being the only real chance of sorting all my problems as yet again i need Admin permissions. It's driving me crazy
