Windows 10 is a great operating system, but it can be difficult to manage your computer. One of the most common tasks that users perform is managing their computer’s settings. One of the ways that Windows 10 manages these settings is by granting administrator rights to users. This article will show you how to get administrator rights on your Windows 10 computer. To get administrator rights on your Windows 10 computer, you first need to create a new user account and grant it administrator rights. Then, you can use the command line to get administrator rights for the user account that you created. To do this, type the following command at the command prompt: netstat -an | grep “W10” This will show you all of the active connections and ports on your computer. You will see a connection for “W10” with an activity level of 1 (normal). To get administrator rights for this connection, type the following command: netstat -an | grep “W10” | set Administrators=true

SteelSeries is Following Razer

Security researcher Lawrence Amer decided to investigate after the Razer vulnerability popped up. They found that there was a link in the License Agreement screen that is opened with SYSTEM privileges during the device setup process, thus granting full access to a Windows 10 machine as an admin.

Amer opened the link in Internet Explorer. Once there, it was as simple as saving a web page and launching an elevated Command Prompt from the right-click menu. From there, you can move around the PC with elevated privileges and do anything an admin can do.

This applies to all sorts of SteelSeries peripherals such as mice, keyboards, headsets, and so on.

You don’t even need an actual device, as there’s a method published in a video by researcher István Tóth that actually emulates a SteelSeries or Razer device and lets you launch the installation process without even plugging in any hardware.

Is SteelSeries Addressing the Problem?

A SteelSeries spokesperson talked to BleepingComputer. They said, “We are aware of the issue identified and have proactively disabled the launch of the SteelSeries installer that is triggered when a new SteelSeries device is plugged in. This immediately removes the opportunity for an exploit and we are working on a software update that will address the issue permanently and be released soon.”

So, for the time being, it looks like SteelSeries has prevented the exploit. However, according to Amer, one could save the vulnerable signed executable in the temporary folder and still run it when plugging in a SteelSeries device (or emulating one).
