Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system\ 3. Right click a blank area in the right pane, and create a NEW DWORD value 4. Type: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy 5. Assign a value of 1 to the newly created DWORD (double-click ot it, type 1 in the box, click OK). 6. Restart your computer.
