Windows Admin Center Access Denied
Greetings, 2 days ago I installed WAC on my desktop Win 10 (1909). I was using Edge and added just a couple servers to monitor while I test this product. This morning I fired it up in Edge and right...
Fresh install of 2110 in windows 11 and still greeted with this message.
I'll keep using a server for this. I was just hoping to use it locally a bit more for speed gains.

Yeah, I got a new laptop at work (Win 10) and getting WAC going again was a major test of patience. If the user has local admins, not a problem. But we use our PC's with regular user rights and then have a privileged account that we use as needed. In almost all cases, when installing an app, with the prv account on our PC's, it's not a problem. Next time it runs, it prompts for the prv, I give it the prv finger and life goes on. Easy Peasy. Even trying to install it while under my prv account, it still fails initially when using this with my regular account. I again had to put my regular account into the local admin group, then launch WAC so that it could get whatever backend bits tacken care of, then remove myself from local admins. No other administrative application we use has such hoops to jump through.
Now it does work under my normal account but still need to manually log in to at least one of the systems on my WAC list with my prv account since they all try to use my non-prv account. Very much a pain since my prv account's password is quite long.
This solution is very much NOT non-admin profile friendly at all. If it would just work so that we can use Windows Hello prv account signon at launch like 95% of everything else on my laptop, this thread wouldn't exist.
Anyone know of a better alternatives than WAC?
