icacls file_name /grant administrators:F

For Directories (will perform action recursively):
takeown /f directory_name /r /d y
icacls directory_name /grant administrators:F /t

* Turn off Driver Signing
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

* Turn off Hibernation
powercfg -h off

* Classic Start Menu and Explorer
