Error When Changing Network Adapter Settings from Settings App in Windows Server 2019 C:\Windows\system32\control.exe
After promoting a server to domain controller and creating my forest and domain I noticed the following error:
C:\Windows\system32\control.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
This has to do with how Windows handles access for built-in administrator accounts.
Right click Start and click Windows PowerShell Admin
Type
Go to Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Security Options> and double click User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Click Enable then click OK
Back at the PowerShell prompt reboot by typing
After the reboot you will notice you can now change the adapter settings from the Settings app
