I am trying to run the sfc.exe/scannow process, but keep getting a message that tells me that I need administrator privileges to run it. I thought that I had activated administrator privileges, but cannot seem to get logged on as administrator. How can I determine whether or not administrator privileges are actually available, and how do I get logged on.
To run a SFC scan you would need to open an elevated command prompt instead. Right click on command prompt shortcut, and click on "Run as administrator".
