Memory problems on PC. Diagnosing possible problems with memory modules

With the advent of the seventh version of Windows OS, many computer system users began to encounter the problem that even with administrator rights on their own terminal or laptop, the system displays an extremely unpleasant message that an error has occurred “The requested operation requires elevation.” We will now look at how to interpret it, what it means and how to get rid of this problem.

Why do I get error code 740 "The requested operation requires elevation" in Windows version 7 and above?

Unfortunately, today few people know that starting with the “seven”, the function of dual possession of administrator rights began to be implemented in Windows operating systems. As it turned out, not only the access rights of the (seemingly) administrator himself play a role here, but also the rights of the so-called “super administrator” with root-type “superuser” rights received by users of mobile operating systems like Android.

That is why, either when installing software or when launching already installed software, the operating system does not want to perform certain actions that could make critical changes to system files. And that is why the warning “The requested operation requires promotion” is displayed, indicating that the user activating a certain process does not have sufficient rights to change the system configuration. However, this situation can be corrected in several simple ways.

The simplest way to fix the problem

As many probably know, the system has a special context menu line for launching programs and applications as an administrator. What’s most interesting is that even the admin himself has to use it in case of problems.

In fact, this command activates the hidden “super administrator” account. Moreover, even at the stage of normal installation, it is very likely that a message will appear with the text “The requested operation requires promotion.” In this case, as is already clear, you first need to install the program using the line to run the executable file as an administrator, and if the system subsequently issues such a warning, you will have to launch the already installed application in the same way.

runas command error "The requested operation requires elevation"

Now let’s look at working with the runas command, used in the “Run” menu or (which is much more common) in the (cmd) itself. This command allows you to run any program or command on behalf of another user of the computer system. As is already clear, if you do not have “super administrator” rights, this may not work.

In both the first and second situations, constantly using the run menu as administrator is not always convenient. To do this, you will need to change some settings so that the “The requested operation requires promotion” warning no longer appears at all. If the failure is due to damage to the file itself or its components, you will have to use utilities like DLL Suite to fix it, and only then take further steps.

Removing an administrator account

The most effective method is to delete the administrator’s “account”. There is no need to be scared, because there is nothing scary in this.

So, go to the computer menu and select the management section (for example, Windows 7), where in the local users section we select the line “Users”. Now, on the right, go to the properties of the administrator record and check the box next to the delete line. After this procedure, the “super administrator” entry will be automatically activated, and you can log in to it even without rebooting the system (simply use the change user command when logging out).

Disabling User Account Control

However, if the warning “The requested operation requires promotion” appears, these are not all the solutions that help get rid of this error.

For example, you can use disabling verification of all “accounts”. To do this, use the accounts section in the Control Panel, where you select the options menu. There is a special slider that needs to be moved to the lowest position, corresponding to the “Never notify” mode.

Conclusion

However, these are not all the methods that can be used to eliminate this type of problem. It goes without saying that, in addition to changing local group policy settings, similar actions can be performed in the system registry editor. However, the procedure there is much more complicated, since you will have to use specially created parameters and assign specific values ​​to them. But in general, as practice shows, to eliminate such errors, what was described above is quite enough.
