A few weeks ago, after using the computer for some time, (The problem doesn't start until a few hours later) my programs won't start up unless running as administrator. All programs. Including notepad. (not sure about cmd)
I have not done a full scan on my computer because it estimates more than one day and the estimated time still extends. Can anyone help me out?

Run sfc /scannow in administrator command prompt:

Then run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

in administrator command prompt.

Then reboot & run sfc again.

If that doesn't help I would refresh or restore to factory settings.
Good luck. :)

Hello & Welcome to windows 8 forum... have you set the UAC Settings to default..? if not, or not sure... just open run then type msconfig then, in tools launch UAC Settings & set them to default . also do try the SFC command by mr.bailey. :)

sometimes it is just bothering that you are the administrator of the computer, when you are going to run an app it asks for administrator permission all the time~~~
