clean up your system and reinstall blender as normal user, better if you download .zip file and avoid to install it as showed so well in requirement page
Before making a new error report, the use of the 'Search' box (top right on the BugTracker Reporting page) is very much appreciated to check if the errors / problems have already been reported by other users, every minute you dedicate at this is a minute earned by the developer to fix bugs. The duplication of the bugreport is a waste of time and resources for the developers

Thank You

Recommended why is @dark999 suggests
However, I think, running installer as Run as Administrator may resolve privileges problem

Recommended why is @dark999 suggests However, I think, running installer as **Run as Administrator** may resolve `privileges` problem

I believe this is not a blender problem. Please try with the latest blender from https://builder.blender.org/download and reopen this ticket if this problem still occurs.
