With the advent of the seventh version of Windows, many users of computer systems began to encounter the problem that even with administrator rights on their own terminal or laptop, the system gives an extremely unpleasant message that an error occurred “The requested operation needs to be upgraded”. How to interpret it, what it means and how to get rid of this problem, we will now see.
Why does the error 740 “The requested operation needs to be upgraded” occur in Windows version 7 and higher?
Unfortunately, today few people know that starting from the "seven" in Windows operating systems, the function of dual ownership of admin rights began to be implemented. As it turned out, not only the access rights of the (seemingly) administrator themselves play a role here, but also the rights of the so-called "super administrator" with root privileges of the "super user" obtained by users of mobile operating systems like Android.
That is why, either when installing the software, or when starting the already installed software, the OS does not want to perform certain actions that can make critical changes to system files. And that is precisely why the warning “The requested operation needs to be upgraded” is displayed as a warning, indicating that the user activating a certain process does not have sufficient rights to change the system configuration. However, this situation can be corrected, and in a few simple ways.
The easiest way to fix the problem.
As many probably know, the system has a special context menu bar for launching programs and applications on behalf of the administrator. What is most interesting, even the administrator himself has to use it in case of problems.
In fact, this command also activates the hidden account of the "super administrator". At the same time, even at the stage of normal installation, a message with the text “The requested operation needs to be upgraded” is very likely. In this case, as is already clear, first you need to install the program using the launch line of the executable file on behalf of the administrator, and if the system subsequently issues such a warning, you will have to run the already installed application in the same way.
Runas command error “The requested operation requires a boost”
Now consider working with the runas command, which is used on the Run menu or (which is much more common) on the command line itself (cmd). This command allows you to run any program or command on behalf of another user of the computer system. As already clear, if there is no “super administrator” rights, this may not work.
That in the first, that in the second situation, constantly using the start menu on behalf of the administrator is not always convenient. To do this, you need to change some parameters so that the warning “The requested operation requires an increase” no longer appears at all. If the failure is due to damage to the file itself or its components, you will have to use utilities like DLL Suite to fix it, and only then do further steps.
Removing the "account" of the administrator
The most effective method is to remove the "account" of the admin. Do not be afraid, because there is nothing wrong with that.
So, go to the computer menu and select the control section (for example, Windows 7), where in the local users section, select the line "Users". Now on the right we go into the properties of the administrator entry and put a checkmark in front of the delete line. After this procedure, the “super administrator” record will be automatically activated, and you can enter it even without rebooting the system (just use the user change command when leaving the system).
Disabling User Account Control
However, if the warning “The requested operation requires an increase” appears, these are far from all the solutions that help get rid of this error.
For example, you can take advantage of disabling the verification of all "accounts" in general. To do this, use the accounts section in the "Control Panel", where the options menu is selected. There is a special slider, which must be rearranged to the lowest position corresponding to the "Never notify" mode.
Conclusion
However, these are far from all the methods that can be used to eliminate this type of problem. It goes without saying that, in addition to changing the settings of the local group policy, similar actions can be performed in the registry editor. However, the procedure there is much more complicated, since you will have to use specially created parameters with the assignment of certain values to them. But in general, as practice shows, to eliminate such errors, it is quite enough what was described above.
