I tried to install Windows SDK, It got stuck at 33% a couple of times, re-downloaded with the same result, now I can't run anything as admin because I get the error below. I can't even re-run Windows SDK install because it requires admin access.
System restore says that it needs system protection , but system protection is greyed out.
Can anyone help me with this?
