Did you start whatever your terminal program is with "Run as Administrator"
(I'm not sure how this is translated in the French version of Windows).
Remember, in Windows, even when your account is a member of the
Administrator group, it does not have those permissions by default.
You have to ask for the elevated permission with "Run as Administrator".

Don't do this.  It isn't necessary and may cause you trouble in the future.
