You may get some error messages while opening, using, and closing the application.An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

“An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host” is one of the Windows errors that may appear because of multiple reasons on your PC. In the current blog, you will find out that how the error occurs when an application on your PC fails to meet the requirement to establish a secure connection.

Understanding the Error Symptoms

On Windows XP, or Windows 2000 PC, you may receive certain errors when you try to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 instance using different protocols. If you are connecting to the instance with the help of TCP/IP protocol, then you may get the following error message:

“An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.”

Cause of the Error

The error occurs when the SQL Server service loads a certificate with AT_SIGNATURE key specification for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of the instance. In SQL Server 2005, you can’t use a certificate with AT_SIGNATURE key specification for SSL encryption. In other Windows versions such as Server 2003, the certificate gets recognized as invalid. On the other hand, when you use Windows XP or Windows 2000 PC, the certificate gets loaded and starts successfully thus causing a connection failure.

What Should You Do?computer support

When you see the error message, you can either search the web to explore the PC troubleshooting tips from computer experts, or seek some quick assistance from your computer tech guy. If your tech guy is not available, then you can also visit your nearest computer store, or contact an online computer support partner to correct all your PC issues. If you don’t wish to spend your money on a technician, then you can also try to perform the troubleshooting steps present in the next section.

Expert Troubleshooting Tips for Your Computer Repair

The error appears when the certificate with AT_SIGNATURE key specification gets loaded for SSL encryption. Therefore, you should use the valid certificate with AT_EXCHANGE key specification to fix the computer problem.

As stated earlier, your issue may get fixed with the use of a valid certificate. However, you should also know how to check the key specification of a certificate. These steps will help you to obtain the key specifications using Certutil utility (Certutil.exe) on your Windows XP or Windows 2000 PC:

  1. Press and hold ‘Windows’ key, and then press letter ‘R’ key to launch the ‘Run’ dialog box.
  2. In the ‘Run’ dialog box, type ‘cmd,’ and then click ‘OK.’
  3. In the ‘Command Prompt’ window, type “regedit.exe” command and then press ENTER on your keyboard to open the Registry Editor.
  4. In the Registry Editor window, try to locate the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib” registry subkey to obtain Certificate’s registry key value.
  5. In the subkey, locate the following section to identify the key specification:

computer support

Note: The value ‘1’ next to ‘KeySpec’ indicates a valid certificate. If the value next to ‘KeySpec’ is ‘2,’ then it indicates the presence of certificate with the AT_SIGNATURE key specification.

  1. After identifying the key specification, go back to the ‘Command Prompt’ window, and type “Certutil -store -v my –CertificateSerialNumber” command, and then press ‘ENTER’ on the keyboard.

Here, ‘CertificateSerialNumber’ is the certificate’s serial number that you obtained in earlier steps.

Using the valid certificate will help you to fix your PC issue. However, you need to be cautious while locating the subkey in the PC registry as mistakenly locating and modifying a subkey may cause computer crash or system failure.

Tech Support Tips to Resolve the Windows Command Prompt Error “0x80070005”

If you carry no knowledge about Windows errors, then these errors might appear very critical and tricky to you. Undoubtedly, Windows is one of the finest and most used operating systems, but that doesn’t make it an error-free operating system. Windows errors crop up now and then and cause problems to the users by hindering the Windows operations in some or other way. Thus, it is essential for users to learn the troubleshooting methods for some common errors. In this blog, you will learn how to troubleshoot the “Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges” error.

Understanding the Error

Tech support,

“Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges” may occur in different scenarios, but usually it occurs when you attempt to check your Windows license status. It is an error message that occurs in continuation to the “Windows is not genuine: 0x80070005” error.

Any user on receiving the “Windows is not genuine” error, first checks the Window license status. If a user doesn’t know how to check the license status and approached a tech support engineer, then that engineer will also first check the license status. The simple and easy way of checking the license status is to run the “slmgr.vbs /dlv” command in the Windows command prompt. But, sometimes instead of showing the license status, the command prompt publishes the following error:

“Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges.”

Troubleshooting the Error

Run the Command Prompt as Administ  0x80070005rator

If you read the error message carefully, you will see that it is referring to elevated privileges. The elevated privileges, also known as admin privileges are available only when you run the Command Prompt as Administrator. If you haven’t run the Command Prompt as Administrator, then you will get this error. Thus, if you have faced this error, then first confirm that you have run the Windows Command Prompt as administrator. When you run the Command Prompt as administrator, it becomes the elevated Command Prompt. Only on an elevated Command Prompt, you can get the elevated privileges (admin rights).

However, if you are already using the elevated Command Prompt, and yet the error is cropping up, then you can try the following troubleshooting methods:

Method 1: Disable Plug & Play policy

  • Click the ‘Start’ button to launch the ‘Start’ menu.
  • In the menu search box type ‘CMD.’
  • In the search result, right-click on CMD.
  • Then, select ‘Run as Administrator.’
  • That will open the Windows Command Prompt (CMD).
  • In the CMD type “rsop.msc,” and then press ‘Enter.’
  • In the next Window, click on ‘Computer Configuration’ to expand it.
  • Then, click on ‘Windows settings’ to expand it.
  • Next, click on ‘System Services’ to expand it.
  • In this screen, locate ‘Plug and Play.’
  • Now, double-click on it and set it to ‘Not Defined.’
  • Once again go to the CMD, and type “gpupdate /force.”
  • Next, restart your computer.

Method 2: Reset your Network Hardware

0x80070005

You can also attempt to resolve the error by resetting your Network hardware. For that, you need a strong Internet connection.

Following are the steps you can follow to reset your network hardware:

  • Go to ‘Control Panel.’
  • Then, locate ‘Network and Sharing Center.’
  • Now, select ‘Change Adapter Settings’ from the left pane.
  • Now, right-click on ‘Local Area Connection.’
  • Then, click on ‘Disable.’
  • Next, right-click on the ‘Wireless Network’ icon.
  • Again click on ‘Disable.’
  • Now, restart your computer.
  • Again go to the ‘Network and Sharing Center’ from ‘Control Panel.’
  • Then, go to ‘Change Adapter Settings.’
  • Next, enable both the adapters that you have previously disabled
  • Then, exit from ‘Network and Sharing Center.’
  • Now, open Windows Update.
  • Then, click on ‘Check for Updates.’
  • Then, click on ‘Optional Updates.’
  • Then, select the available ‘Hardware Driver Updates.’

Then, visit the Network Adapter / Motherboard manufacturer website to download and install latest Network adapter drivers. After you complete updating the drivers, type “slmgr.vbs /dlv” in the Command Prompt. This time you should be able to see your Windows license status.

Conclusion

Resetting network hardware is a difficult task. If you can’t perform the steps on your own, then it is advisable to take help from an online tech support engineer. Sometimes, the error occurs because of missing registry keys. Adding registry keys require the advanced level of technical knowledge. Thus, you should always get the registry tweaks done by well-trained professionals. Therefore, connect with an online computer support firm, and allow a technical support engineer to check the cause of the error.

How to Repair “The Requested Operation Requires Elevation” Windows Error?

Some Windows errors are difficult to deal with while some are easy to repair. For an average computer user, repairing Windows certain errors will be a difficult job, but some errors are simple enough and thus can be repaired through self-troubleshooting. “The requested operation requires elevation” is one such simple error that is easy to repair. It is a very common error so every computer user should know about the technicality of this error as well as its troubleshooting steps.

On this note, this blog explains the error in detail, its reasons of occurrence and the troubleshooting steps.

How Impactful the Error Is?

The error may occur when you run certain Windows Update, Windows Command Prompt, Device Manager, etc. “The requested operation requires elevation” is a simple error, but its impact is quite prominent as it restricts the user from running the requested program/operation. If you have received this error while using Windows Command Prompt or Windows Update or any other Windows program, then you have to fix the error for using the program. Without fixing the error, you won’t be able to use the programs. Thus, all computer users should know the method of troubleshooting this error as that will make computing lot more convenient for them.

Why the Error Occurs?

When you attempt to use Windows critical programs like Windows Update, Windows Command Prompt, and any other programs through which major Windows modifications can get implemented, you need to have admin permissions. Certain programs are restricted for the use of Administrator only so that only an authorized user can make Windows modification. That is the idea of having a separate Administrator account and normal user accounts. All users can’t be allowed to have unrestricted access to Windows core programs because that will be a risk to security.

In a nutshell, you can execute certain programs and operations on a computer only if you are the Administrator of that computer. Being an Administrator, you will have the elevated rights, i.e. admin rights. Once you have the admin rights, you will be able to run the programs like Command Prompt, Device Manager or Windows Update.

But if you attempt to run these programs from a normal user account, then you will not be able to do so, because of the lack of essential elevated, i.e. admin permissions. In that scenario, Windows will stop you by prompting the error “The requested operation requires elevation.” The occurrence of this error simply means that you don’t have the essential permissions to run the requested programs or operations.

How to Troubleshoot the Error?

It is interesting to learn that this error occurs because of a simple technical flaw. Simply by using your administrator account, you can get rid of this error. However, the resolution is not that simple. There are a few more aspects that you need to understand to understand how to repair this error. The troubleshooting steps are mentioned below, but if you find difficulty in understanding the intricacies of the steps mentioned below, then you always have the option of availing online computer repair services. However, you should always contact a reputed tech support service provider to ensure the quality of the service.

Run the Program as Administrator

The prime requisite for resolving this error is that you need to log into your computer from the Administrator account. But if you are using an advanced version of Windows then apart from logging into your computer from the Administrator account, you also need to run the program as Administrator. Running the program as administrator is different from logging into the computer from the Administrator account. In modern versions of Windows, some programs, by default, requires being run as Administrator, even if you have logged into your account from the administrator account. To run a program as administrator is easy and simple. You just need to perform the following steps:

Note: The following steps highlight how to run Window Command Prompt as Administrator. But the same steps are valid for other Windows programs as well.

  • Click the ‘Start’ button.
  • Next, click ‘All Programs.’
  • Now, click ‘Accessories.’
  • In the menu, look for Command Prompt.
  • Right-click on ‘Command Prompt.’
  • From the drop menu select ‘Run as Administrator.’
  • Then, type your administrator login credentials.

With these steps, you can easily run a program as administrator.

Disable the UAC (User Account control)

UAC (User Account control) is the feature that keeps a check on the user account type. It is UAC that identifies your user account type, and the permissions provided by the account. In some computers, especially the office computers, there exist administrator group. An administrator group includes many administrator members. These administrator members do have certain admin rights but not the supreme admin rights. In earlier Windows versions, the UAC used to consider the rights of these administrator members as the valid admin rights. But the UAC of the latest Windows versions such as Windows 7, Windows 8, etc., accepts only the admin rights of the prime Administrator and denies the rights of administrator members. Thus, if you are using an account of administrator member, then also you are likely to receive the error “the requested operation requires elevation.” In such a scenario, you may wonder why you got the error despite using an account of administrator member. It is simply because the UAC of your Windows doesn’t consider your admin rights as the essential admin rights. Here, receiving the error regarding elevated permissions means you need to use the prime Administrator account and not just any administrator member.

But, if it is necessary to have more than one administrator accounts in any particular computer, then the only way of getting rid of this error is to disable the UAC. To disable the UAC, you need to perform the following steps:

  • Click on Start button
  • Then, click ‘Control Panel.’
  • Click on ‘User Accounts and Family Safety’ option.
  • Click on ‘User Account.’
  • Then, click on ‘User Account Control Setting.’

Here, you can see a moving slider. Now, slide the bar to extreme low level till you reach ‘Never Notify.’

With these steps, the UAC will get disabled. A disabled UAC won’t be able to identify whether you are the prime Administrator or just an administrator member. Thus, you won’t receive any error.

Conclusion

It is a mandate to have the Administrator login credentials to resolve the error. If you have this administrator login credentials, then you can simply need to log into your account from the Administrator account. Then, you need to run the program as administrator. If the problem still prevails, then you need to disable the UAC. The article has described all the steps, but if you still have any difficulty in performing the steps, then dial to a reputed computer support firm. By availing online computer repair services, you can get your problem resolved from highly experienced tech support professional.

You also hold the chances of getting this error while doing Windows configuration alteration, setting modifications, software deployment, commands execution in CMD prompt, software removal, etc.

The repairing method of the error will appear very simple once you will understand its causes. As mentioned above, it is a permission error. So, to get rid of the error, you simply need to have the right permissions. Once you have the right permissions, the error will automatically get repaired.

Cause of the Error

The Requested Operation Requires Elevation

As you can read the error, “the requested operation requires elevation” talks about elevation. Here, elevation means ‘elevated rights.’ Elevated rights also mean admin rights. In Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, certain operations are executable only if you have the admin rights. A few such operations are software installation, software removal, commands execution, settings modification, etc. From a normal user account, you can’t perform these operations as these operations are likely to make major modification on your Windows. That is why such modifications are permissible only on an Administrator account.

Troubleshooting the Error

Login from the Administrator Account

If you are attempting to perform these operations from a normal user account, then you need to log into your computer as Administrator and then try performing the operations once again. This time you shouldn’t get the error.

Run the Program as Administrator

However, sometimes just logging into the computer from the administrator account is not enough. In addition to that, you also need to run the program as Administrator. Running a program as Administrator and logging into the computer as Administrator is two different things. Sometimes, to acquire the elevated permissions, you need to perform both the steps.

Disable the UAC (User Account Control)

Sometimes, especially in case of a shared computer, there exists an ‘Admin Group.’ The group includes many users as ‘Admin members.’ These Admin members have some of the admin rights but not all. Till Windows XP, it was possible to repair the error “the requested operation requires elevation” even from an Admin member account.

Tech Support,

But the UAC of Windows Vista and above versions doesn’t consider the admin rights of Admin member as the elevated rights. Thus, if you attempt to perform certain operations from an Admin member account, then also you will get this permission error. In case you are using Windows Vista and above versions, then you strictly need to use the Administrator account.

But, if you want a group of users to have the admin rights, then you have to get the UAC disabled. UAC is the Windows feature that identifies your user type and its respective permissions. A disabled UAC won’t be able to distinguish between an admin member and the ‘Administrator,’ and thus it will not restrict the user with this error.

To disable or turn off the User Access Control (UAC), you can avail online computer support help. Dial a reputed tech support firm and an experienced technical support engineer will be ready 24x 7 to repair the error. However, even to disable the UAC, the tech support engineer will require the admin rights.

Thus, you need to provide the technical support engineer your admin login credentials, and then he or she will execute the following steps to disable the UAC.

  • Click the ‘Start’ menu.
  • Open ‘Control Panel.’
  • Navigate to ‘User Account.’
  • Then, click the link for ‘User Account Control’ settings.
  • In the ‘User Account Control Settings’ dialog box, you will see a control level.
  • Now, drag the control level to ‘Never Notify.’
  • Next, click ‘OK.’
  • That will disable the UAC.

Conclusion

It is a minor error because it doesn’t refer any technical flaw on your computer. Various other errors often result because of hardware issue or software issue, so it is not very tricky to repair the error. All you need is the administrator login credentials. Normally, you should not need any professional computer support to resolve the error. However, if disabling the UAC is appearing difficult to you, then you can go for online tech support help and get the error repaired easily.
