Why does Windows say "No access" when copying files even though I'm an admin?

Win10 2004.
I can't understand the logic:
Here I am copying a file from drive D to the root of drive C.
I get a message that admin rights are needed for copying, such as there is no access, I poke "Everything with admin rights ...." and only then is copying.
Doesn't the OS understand that I am the admin, and if it doesn't understand, then why doesn't it ask to confirm admin rights, for example, by asking for a password? Why is this incomprehensible protection needed? How to disable?

The OS understands that now everything is around with admin rights and everyone is *diots. So it asks for confirmation so that you don’t * rni bells and whistles.
But seriously, Windows runs software with limited rights, including Explorer. This is done to increase safety from crooked hands.

Do not store files in the root of the drive. Create a folder and everything will be OK.
For a long time, the rights to the root of the disk have been special so that viruses do not sit there, and the user has more order.

Explorer (and indeed all Windows applications launched at startup) is not launched as an administrator, but because if we create files, folders, etc. through it, it cannot create a file / folder where it is prohibited.
This is such a protection against crooked hands
. It seems that this cannot be bypassed.
