There is no such thing as a Super Administrator account in any version of
Windows, including Windows 8.

Have you completely disabled User Account Control? If so, my understanding
is that will cause all Metro apps to fail and is by design.

Answer 2

No,  not disabled UAC in Super Admin account. But  completely disabled UAC in regular user account and Metro apps works fine.

Answer 3

Are you talking about Build-in administrator? Paul is correct I had issues with Metro apps not working  properly when UAC is disabled.

Again, there's no such thing as a Super Admin account.
