Hello,

I have computers in my domain running Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.  When I run a batch file as an Administrator, all of the commands in the file are "Access Denied".  Currently, I have to right click on "Command Prompt", choose Run as Administrator, map a drive to the batch file location, and run the batch file from the Command Prompt.  On my Windows 7 computers, I simply double click on the batch file, that's it.  I have UAC disabled.  In Local Policies\Security Options\User Account Control, I have "Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" set to "Enable without prompting", and "Run all Administrators in Admin Approval Mode" set to "Enabled".  What else do I need to do to allow me to just launch a batch file like I did in Windows 7 and all other versions of Windows?

Hello,

Make sure you've admin rights and you've not lost them. Also try to restore the security policy to default, enable UAC and then run Command Prompt as admin and then see if this solves the problem.

Hope this helps, Good luck :)

Hi,

According to your description, it's probably UAC problem. First of all, please follow Kapil's suggestion for test to resolve this problem.

If no use, I'd like to suggest you use Process Monitor to make deep research with this problem:
