Perform a Clean boot

1. Use Windows Key + R shortcut to open the Run dialog.

3. When System Configuration window appears, navigate to the Services tab and check Hide all Microsoft services check box.
4. Now click the Disable all button to disable all services on the list.
5. Head over to the Startup tab and select Open Task Manager.
6. Task Manager will appear, and you’ll see a list of all startup applications.
7. Right-click the first application on the list and select Disable. Repeat this step for all startup applications.

Perform an SFC and DISM scan

1.  sfc /scannow
   1. Open Command Prompt as administrator. The fastest way to do that is to press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) from the list. Alternatively, you can use PowerShell (Admin) if you like.
   2. Once the Command Prompt starts, enter sfc /scannow and press Enter to run it.
   3. The SFC scan will now begin. Bear in mind that the scan can take about 10-15 minutes, so don’t interrupt it or interfere with it.
2. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
   1. Start Command Prompt as an administrator.
   2. Enter the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
   3. The DISM scan will now start. Keep in mind that this scan can take about 20 minutes, sometimes more, so don’t interfere with it.

4. In the Advanced options screen, select Command Prompt.
5. Once the CMD opens, use the typing field to insert this command:net user administrator /active:yes
6. Make sure you press Enter to run it.
7. If Windows 11 Run as administrator is still not working, access the CMD again (using the same steps).
8. This time, type in regedit to open the Registry Editor.

10. Now, select File from the upper menu bar and click on Load Hive.

14. Use the Load Hive dialog box to type REM_SAM as the name of the key and click OK. (This will load the hive into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch).
15. Now, look in the left pane of the registry one more time and locate this key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users\000001F4
16. In the right pane corresponding to the 000001F4 key, double-click the F Dword (REG_BINARY) to modify it.
17. Place your cursor on the line 0038 (1st column), replace the value 11 with 10, and click OK.
