How to:

  1. Go to the windows search bar and type ‘Task Scheduler’. Click Run as administrator.
  2. Log in with your admin account.
  3. Click the ‘task Scheduler Library’ folder itself. Do not click the ‘drop down menu arrow'.
  4. Look for the ‘HubAgent’, right click and choose ‘run’.
  5. Look at the menu to the right in your window, and find ‘Refresh’. Click it a couple of times.
  6. Verify the change, in ‘Computer Management’, by right clicking the windows button.
  7. Click the ‘Local Users and Groups’ then click ‘Groups’ and then choose the ‘Administrators’ button.
  8. The user ‘COMPANY/username’ should be there. The user is an administrator!

And you are done. 😄
