Windows Admin Center Access Denied
MicrosoftImNotBob Deargubel NebulousBurrito AndreasM1976 --BF-- Antonio_Filho TinklemyFinkle Thanks for reporting folks! The Windows Admin Center team is aware of this issue and are investigating right now! Will update this thread and Twitter (@servermgmt) as soon as we have a workaround or a new update available.

It looks like when running with a standard user account it does not have rights to make updates to the admin center as there seems to be some extensions that need to be updated.
To fix this problem, open up the console from a location that you can log in with an account that either has domain admin rights or admin rights on the server that is hosting the admin center. It will then do all the updates to the extensions needed. Once done, and it has reloaded, you can then open up the console on your normal desktop and should all start working again.
Did as you suggested and it seems to be ok now.
Very odd behavior. One would think that launching WAC with a prv account that has local admins would solve this like any other product.
Thanks everyone for feedback and workaround.
Well today is a new day and after firing up WAC, I'm greeting with the same issue again.
Perhaps I'm not looking at this correctly. Having to add my non-prv account to the admin group, log in, run WAC, remove my non-prv account from admin, log out, log back might be a feature?
