Origin update you must be logged in as an administrator

Could this be a TrustedInstaller Security issue? If it is, is there a way to fix the TrustedInstaller or to disable it? My initial thought is "no". However, this software is listed on the Microsoft site as being compatible with Windows 7.

So this is an application that is 3rd party that is accepted by Microsoft. Wow I am confused. Not sure what to do here. If so, then we know that UAC is what is causing the problem with the installation.

Click OK one more time to complete this task. Wednesday, October 11, AM. On Windows 10, i just tried this and all these other suggestions and none of them worked I tried all the different suggestions but none of them worked None of the property settings allow me to change anything.

Not having permission when my account and profile is the only one on here is fucking ridiculous. Tuesday, October 31, AM. Sunday, November 19, AM. It may help some of you. Tuesday, November 28, PM. This worked like a charm for me. Thank you so much!

Saturday, December 16, AM. Thank You, This was the only solution that worked for me. Wednesday, January 10, AM. That actually worked! It's insane that I have to do that, just to delete my own folder, but it worked! Wednesday, February 7, AM. Thursday, February 8, PM. Sunday, February 25, AM. This happen when u start sharing folder and delete some sub-folder inherated from other device. An image or a shadow of the previously existing folder still exists so that's why u can neither give permission to that folder nor and delete or edit it.

You get an error that Linux cannot read the drive Ugly: It is a pain for some who are not familiar with Linux. Tuesday, February 27, PM. Hi everyone, I had the similar issue, where inheritance properties didnt work.

It is a free program, and trusted by the Norton Community. Thursday, March 22, PM. Saturday, April 21, PM. Sunday, May 13, AM. That's worked, Thanks, but can it be bad for my pc security? Thursday, May 17, PM. Thank you. I've been having this issue intermittently and had no idea what would cause it. Thursday, May 24, PM. Hi Kappa-Gooner, Many people suggest change the Owner of the folder or file, that's kind of awkward.

Thursday, May 31, PM. Well, genius, I'm having the exact same problem and I created the file and am the only user on the computer with the only account so I am the administrator.

There is no other "default owner. Friday, June 1, AM. There MUST be, how else would it be possible to: 1. Be an administrator; 3. Saturday, June 2, PM. Sunday, June 24, PM. Tuesday, June 26, PM. These could be my words exactly. Same damn thing. Doesn't make sense. If I install Windows I should automatically own it and be able to do whatever the hell I want to whatever the hell I want. It's mine, damn it.

Friday, July 20, AM. Monday, July 30, PM. I have just created the file - and advanced properties does list me as owner! So what IS your answer?

Your solutions? Any ideas? Monday, August 27, PM. I've tried that too, no help. Friday, August 31, AM. Sorry about that, tried a 'soft return. My purchased copy of Windows 7 Professional. Only person EVER to log on to the computer. Why don't I OWN my files?

Wednesday, October 24, PM. Saturday, November 10, PM. No idea why it got into this mess though. Hope this helps others Cheers, Al. Thursday, January 3, PM. It's very simple. Their software has become so complex, and customer support has been reduced to asking questions from outsourced "experts" who don't even have a handle on what user-friendly, simple solution would work for the average user.

It's like they expect us all to be able to recompile our own kernel before we can understand the answers they provide - that is, when they're not totally wrong or unrelated to the original question. I have the same problem. No answer here is useful to me.

I don't give a rat's south about inheritance or permissions; all I know is this is my computer, there's only one account, I'm the administrator, and I should be able to access, move, rename, or delete any file I want to without all this hassle.

Judas Priest, Microsoft is hardly worth the hassle any more. Proposed as answer by robertd Tuesday, September 17, PM. Saturday, January 12, PM. Okay this has now consumed most of my day maybe 7 hours of my time!!! There are two programs with the same issue of not being able to acces user profiles to delete them, Thunderbird is installed but will not work as comes up with missing profiles.

I had tried the go to start type run then gpedit. Solved,,, well haven't moved onto the other program,,, but at least in the case of thunderbird type into bottom left of screen Monday, January 14, AM. It would be really nice if microsoft supplied a means to turn off all of this permissions crap!
