One time Windows told me I needed admin privileges to edit s file. I had admin privileges.

    You needed permission from the SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller account.

    Which you can give to yourself if you are admin.

    Last time I did that it didn't work so I figured I will restart and it will recognize then. Windows got a 30 minute update.

    When I logged back in my account was gone and still asked for a password. My old password didn't work.

    Recovery option also fucked my grub. (Probably just the EFI now that I think about it.)
