Run As Administrator

Task Manager - Run As Administrator

Reference:

Run - Run As Administrator

Make any program run with Run run as administrator:

  1. Run Task Manager
  2. Kill "Windows Explorer"
  3. Start new "Windows Explorer" process with "Run as Administrator" checked

To reverse, do the same without the "Run as Administrator"

You can also disable UAC

Run CMD as Administrator

REG fix that should put a new entry on the context menu for the desktop to run CMD elevated: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

sfc error

C:\>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

Best solution: Repair Install

ITEMS THAT WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT OR AFFECTED:

  • Sounds
  • Services
  • Visual Effects Settings
  • Device Drivers - Be sure to have these handy to reinstall. They do not always remain after the repair (upgrade) install.
  • You may lose the ability to sign on to MSN Messenger, to solve this problem have a look at this thread Unable to sign in to WLM.
  • You may lose your custom themes due to not having permisions set on the old themes. Go to the hidden themes folder at C:/Users/(User-Name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes, then Take Ownership of the themes folder and you will now have all your themes back.
  • It has been reported that you may also lose your Media Center gadget after doing the repair install.
  • Windows Updates will need to be checked and reinstalled again.

It's likely that this feature will be made available in Windows 10 Anniversary Update when it is released later in the year, but you can enable it in the latest Insider build using Group Policy:

  1. Hit the Windows key, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem > NTFS.
  3. Double click the Enable NTFS long paths option and enable it.

If you're using a version of Windows that does not provide access to Group Policy, you can edit the registry instead.

  1. Hit the Windows key, type regedit and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\ {48981759-12F2-42A6-A048-028B3973495F} Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Policies
  3. Select the LongPathsEnabled key, or create it as a DWORD (32-bit) value if it does not exist.
  4. Set the value to 1 and close the Registry Editor.

Organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access

You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies
block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC from
unsafe or malicious devices on the network.
Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education no longer allow a user to connect to a remote share by using guest credentials by default, even if the remote server requests guest credentials.

Solution:

If you want to enable insecure guest access, you can configure the following Group Policy settings:

  • Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation ->"Enable insecure guest logons"

Customized Explorer Folder Appearance

How to modify your folder view settings or to customize a folder - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/812003/how-to-modify-your-folder-view-settings-or-to-customize-a-folder

Customize the appearance of a folder

To customize the appearance of a folder, follow these steps:

  1. Start Windows Explorer, and then locate the folder that you want to customize.
  2. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.
  3. On the Customize tab, select the customization options you want to use for the folder.

Note: The Customize tab is not available for special folders where Windows has already set their default appearances. But, you may be able to customize the folder picture for the Thumbnails view of some special folders by using the steps in the Manually create a folder picture section of this article.

Clear Quick Access Library

Remove One Drive from Quick Access Library

(this will actually reset it to "Desktop/Downloads/Documents/Pictures", but good enough to kill One Drive.

For fixing Quick Access it should be sufficient to delete: 

%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\f01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms

ref: [6] -

To fix this issue go to these two folders: 

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations

Then delete all the files in those folders.
