Run as administrator problem

Windows has broken the links between my desktop icons & the apps, so I cannot open Quicken with a click -- but I can right-click & run it as administrator. But I then get a message that Quicken does not support running in this mode & there could be problems. Changing the properties of the link to administrator status does allow running with a click but the same warning message appears. This is a Windows problem because the links to other apps have also been demolished. Anyone have ideas about a fix?

Hi @Bill
Thank you for confirming, although I apologize that you have not yet received a follow-up response.
It sounds as though the Windows permission settings may have been affected by the global change which is affecting how you access the different Apps, including Quicken.
If you haven't already, please right-click on the Quicken icon on the desktop and select "Properties" from the menu.
In the Properties window, select the Security tab, and verify which permissions show as enabled for your windows user profile.
If none of the permissions are set for "Allow", I would recommend signing into Windows under the Administrator profile and modifying the permission settings for your personal Windows profile to allow full control.
if you aren't sure how to modify the permission settings, I would recommend contacting Microsoft for assistance.
Please let us know how it goes, thank you.

Did you change anything from a Windows point of view....Windows User ID logon, or Windows Access settings, Anti-Virus, etc...Also - this is a forum, so no need to post 2 duplicate messages.

Not that I am aware of. But Windows did appear to make some global changes, e.g. all the "most used" icons & apps disappeared and were replaced by a random mix. Similarly, some of the tiles that should have displayed apps or weather, etc, contained only what looked like lines of code.
Sorry about the dup. I wasn't sure the 1st had posted.0 -
Hello @Bill
Thank you for the response and for providing more info.
Do you have more than one user on this computer? Is it possible that you are signed in under a guest or a different admin?
Please let me know!
