That last bit about GRUB is why I never put Windows on the same drive as my Arch, btw install. If they both have their own EFI partitions, Windows doesn’t mess with Linux.
Just because you have admin rights doesn’t mean the process you’ve invoked does. Unless you specifically elevate it or the process asks to elevate, it’ll run unprivileged.
One time Windows told me I needed admin privileges to edit s file. I had admin privileges.
You needed permission from the SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller account.
Which you can give to yourself if you are admin.
Last time I did that it didn’t work so I figured I will restart and it will recognize then. Windows got a 30 minute update.
When I logged back in my account was gone and still asked for a password. My old password didn’t work.
Recovery option also fucked my grub. (Probably just the EFI now that I think about it.)
