I am so sorry if this is in the wrong area or has already been answered. I see answers, but I have no idea what a sfc, dism or a UAC is. I just purchased this computer and it has 8.1 on it. So I installed the Classic Shell and started making the start menu more user friendly. However, just like with Windows 7 (but not the same solution) I have a bunch of things that require being ran as an administrator. I am the only person on this computer and when I right click and go to properties, I suddenly have four accounts and I don't understand why. They are, SYSTEM, another with my name and nickname I signed up with but changed back to my name, Administrators then in () is my name\Administrators and one called INTERACTIVE.
Can I remove all those user names or are they required? How do I permit every single program to run as Administrator? I have seen some solutions for just shortcuts and programs here and there but I want that nasty guard shield gone and be able to run Windows sorta like I did Windows 7.
If I can delete these accounts, can I do it in properties? I don't want to delete anything until I know what's going on but I purchased the computer and it made me enter a nickname and password. I was assuming that was the Administrator account and nobody else logs on so I'm very confused.
I'm sure most people come here confused over Windows 8 and 8.1. So please, talk it down, I don't know what those things I listed in the first paragraph are so I cannot figure out what to do to fix it and is there even a fix for all the programs like Windows 7 did?
