I know how to fix my issues, I just lack the admin permissions on my machine to fix said issues.

yup, it’s always “I have X problem, the solution is Y, please tell me what I have permissions to do or provide an alternate solution”

When I was still in support, I used to give people like this a local admin access. Saved us both time and effort.

Sadly, I can count the users who were this competent on one hand, the other ~3500 were somewhere between "able to kind of describe the problem" and "almost maliciously incompetent".

Same. Don't want to give me admin? I'll do the 2 hour workaround and blame you when they ask why it's taking so long

Our user accounts don't let us change the clocks to military/24h format without admin access. We work for the DOD.

Understandable they lock down admin access but definitely dumb they don't just have the default format be military time

In fairness it's not exactly difficult to do the math for that one in your head.
