Domain joined PC where I am both admin at the PC and the Domain Admin and on my PC Device Manger says "you are logged in as a standard user".

Also merging .reg files to change back stuff that Win 10 updates set to defaults (non-critical, almost all cosmetic) results with error that some items not updated because of insufficient rights.

As both a local admin and domain admin, why?

Tried rejoining PC to domain. Nope. Server is 2012r2 and fully updated.

So what the...? Anyone seen this and found a fix?

This may be blunt force but this is fixed by disabling UAC:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

Of course this has never been the case - all was well on this PC under Win 10 1909. Upgraded itself to 20H2 and problems began. No idea why but finally I can actually use Device Manager, and the rest of the panels etc. to actually, you know, manage my own PC.
