UNABLE TO OPEN SETTINGS ASKING FOR ADMIN CREDENTIALS.

AND unable to enter those credentials too because there is no option for entering the credentials. It's only showing no option.

 

Someone respond asap.

I don't know of any settings for "Admin Credentials". 

 

What specifically are you trying to do? What OS version are you using -- Win10 or Win11?

Windows 10 pro, whenever I try open or click or select settings nothing restricted, just normal settings it's asking for admin credentials and there is no way I can enter the credentials since the only option available is no there is no yes option. I cannot even enter the admin credentials.

So, it does this on any settings? Like, for example, Display Settings?

Yes, just when I select settings it opens and asks for admin credentials

Has it been doing this all along? How old is this PC?
