Task manger (access denied) set priority

Hi Dustin,

If you are denied from access when changing a setting in Windows, it could mean that you do not have administrator privileges to change or access the settings. Kindly log in to your computer as an administrator to change the setting.

If logging in as an administrator does not help, kindly check if User Account Control is enabled. User Account Control is in place to make sure programs don't do any damage to your system. Here's how to check User Account Control:

• Press the Start button, then type User Account Control, and open the option to change
  User Account Control settings.
• Set it to your preferred option, then change the settings in Task Manager.

If the above steps doesn't help, do not hesitate to post back to us.

 

Windows 10 will not allow me to turn on/off camera settings

Hello tfjr, *Smile

If you mean the Allow apps access your camera setting, then it will be grayed out until you turn on Camera access for this device above it using option 1 below.

If it's all grayed out, then it sounds like you may have a group policy configured to disable it. You can check to see if you can use option 6 or 7 to enable this setting to be able to use options 1 to 5 again.

Allow or Deny OS and Apps Access to Camera in Windows 10

 

Camera settings

In Settings, I am under "Allow desktop apps to access your camera" and I have it switched to On. Beneath that, I have three apps, beginning with Chrome, Skype and Zoom.

My question is, how do I disable any of them, such as Chrome & Skype?

Under "Choose which Microsoft Store Apps can access your camera" and all are switched off apart from Skype. But I do not see Zoom or Chrome in the list anyway.

Help would be appreciated regarding this. Thanks.
