In such cases I grant myself the needed rights.

i knew there was a reason why i used "Run As System".

In this article I describe a way to run a program as a SYSTEM user. The Local System user account is a built-in account that has full access to the computer. The SYSTEM account is more powerful than the Administrator account because have access to the NT Kernel.

RunAsSystem last release (v1.1, dated 2016-11-02?) can be downloaded from the blog page above.

As the page serves RAS executable directly, hasn't been updated in a while and the file has no icon, here's the link for Virustotal's analysis (2/73):
