Error 0x80070522, A Required Privilege Is Not Held By The Client

A required privilege is not held by the client
Before you begin, create a system restore point first. You may open the file, eg a Word or a Notepad file, by right-cliciking on its icon and selecting Run as administrator. After you complete your work, save it and see if it gets saved. If not, then read on.

1] Use Registry Editor

Press Win + R, type regedit and hit the Enter button to open Registry Editor. Following that, navigate to the following path-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

On your right-hand side, you should find a DWORD (32-bit) Value called EnableLUA.

If you cannot find it on your right-hand side under the System folder, you need to create it manually. For that, make sure the System folder is selected and go to the right side, right-click on space, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Then, name it as EnableLUA.

Now, you need to set its value to 0.

Now check whether you can create a new file or not.
