transcriptA meme using characters from SpongeBob. Man Ray holds a card labeled "My Computer" and says, "I'm an admin, right?" Patrick replies, "Yup." Man Ray continues, "And this file is admin locked." Patrick says, "Yup." Man Ray says, "I have admin access. And if that's the case, I can access this file." Patrick replies, "That makes sense to me." Man Ray says, "So let me access it." Patrick responds, "You need admin access."

On Windows this is when I become NT authority\SYSTEM...and then proceed to break something, like the time I did that and completely and utterly borked Microsoft Store and everything connected to it (like calculator)

If I remember correctly, it's better to root yourself by setting your user to own system

But I haven't had to mess with this since window s 7

I remember using a managed laptop somewhere which had all those UWP apps broken. I guess something similar happened on that.

Theres a github script that fixes everything back to normal now, so its safer to change permissions now.
