Recently I found on one of my systems that I was unable to access c$ even when using admin credentials. The solution can be found at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/951016/description-of-user-account-control-and-remote-restrictions-in-windows The Fix It For Me feature of the article is no longer supported but the description of the manual fix via regedit works:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
   
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3. If the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry does not exist, follow these steps: 
   
   1. On the Edit menu, point to
      New, and then click DWORD Value.
