Product: HP Envy 5642
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

My HP printer will not work with Windows 10 and as I've attempted to update the driver, I get the following error message upon attempting to install - "Call to DriverPackageUninstall returned error 5 - A caller of DriverPackageInstall  must be a member of the Administrators group to install a driver package." 

 

I have confirmed that I am the administrator, so do not understand why I'm receiving this error.
