&lt;p&gt;To Jim &amp;amp; poor1: &amp;nbsp;run Command prompt as Admin (Right click on Command Prompt icon), otherwise you&amp;#39;ll get this access denied error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UI is User Interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just type in Search &amp;quot;Command Prompt&amp;quot;, then right click on the icon and then &amp;quot;Run as Admin&amp;quot; nad copy the text mentioned in the beginning, reboot and jabadabaduu :)&lt;/p&gt;
