Use Windows 8 Metro apps using Administrator account



  • If you are like me that you have domain administrator rights you will find that you cannot run most of the metro style apps that are available in the Start screen.

    You would probably receive the following error message

    So the solution is as follows

    1. Local Security Policy - Run "secpol.msc" and modify as in screenshot 

     

    2. Edit Registry - Run "regedit" and change the value as in screenshot

     

    3. Reboot your System and now you can run all metro Apps as Administrator. 

    Thanks to Islam Adel to sharing this solution that can be found at http://www.islamadel.com/en/notes/6-computer/29-win8fixadmin.
