Here's how to Fix Command Prompt Access denied to Administrator in Windows.

If you are experiencing "Access denied" errors when trying to use Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows, here are some potential solutions to try:

1. Run Command Prompt as an administrator: Right-click on the Command Prompt shortcut and select "Run as administrator". This will ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform administrative tasks.

2. Check your account permissions: Make sure that your user account has administrative privileges. You can check this by going to "Control Panel" - "User Accounts" - "User Accounts" - "Manage another account". From here, you can see if your account has administrative privileges, and if not, you can change the account type.

3. Disable User Account Control (UAC): UAC can sometimes interfere with administrative tasks. To disable it, go to "Control Panel" - "User Accounts" - "User Accounts" - "Change User Account Control settings" and move the slider to "Never notify".

4. Check file permissions: If you are trying to perform a command on a specific file, check to make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access and modify that file. Right-click on the file and select "Properties" - "Security" to see the file permissions.

5. Reset file permissions: If the file permissions are the issue, you can reset them by right-clicking on the file or folder and selecting "Properties" - "Security" - "Advanced" - "Change Permissions" - "Add". Type in "Everyone" and click "OK". Check the "Replace all child object permissions" box and click "OK" to apply the changes.

6. Check group policy settings: Group policy settings can sometimes interfere with administrative tasks. Check the group policy settings by typing "gpedit.msc" into the Run dialog box and pressing Enter. From here, navigate to "Computer Configuration" - "Windows Settings" - "Security Settings" - "Local Policies" - "Security Options" and look for any policies that may be causing the issue.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Microsoft support or a professional computer repair service for further assistance.
