cpujunkie Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I was wondering exactly what issues are caused by running LB/BB as admin. Which emulators have issues, what are the issues. Which utilities and what's their behavior. Any other weird behavior. The reason I run as admin is to stop those UAC prompts when launching pc games (especially the old ones). Could Jason make a startup utility / service that could launch just the games and emulators we wanted with admin rights so we don't get uac prompts and LB/BB won't have to run with admin rights? Like a check box somewhere "Launch this with Admin Rights" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpujunkie Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 disabling uac on Windows 10 doesn't allow windows store apps (uwp) to run or I would (gears of war, super luckys tail, etc). Plus the lil bit of a safety net when using the computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpujunkie Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 apparently you can just turn off the prompts but uac is still active? So yeah.. I thought disabling the prompts turned uac off but apparently it just auto excepts and grants elevated rights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
