Try when no account is switched out using alt-cntrl-del-del
at the Windows Welcome screen to log in with a non-displayed
admin account, or if in Home edition using Adminstrator in an
F8 safe mode boot to log in.
Then either grant your (once admin) account admin once again,
or define a new admin account for your use.
Make your normal use account a limited restricted Users account
and use the admin account when needed such as for update installs.
