Reconnect with administrator tools through another account on the same machine (Windows 10).
Reconnect with administrator tools through another account on the same machine (Windows 10).
Hello, you're experiencing changes in how your application launches when running as an administrator. This could be related to recent system updates or hardware issues. Up until recently, right-clicking the shortcut and selecting "Run as Administrator" worked without needing a password. You mentioned troubleshooting a new USB MIDI device, which led you to a video solution. After following that advice, you installed all available Windows updates and even tried using every free USB port on your motherboard. Once those were resolved, opening the DAW as administrator stopped working. Removing the latest updates and restoring the system to an earlier state didn't help either. Someone has experience with this situation—could you share more details or let me know if you'd like further guidance?
net localgroup is a utility for creating or updating local groups. Based on your command, it appears you included "local" (as the current user) in the Administrators group. The "service" part seems unclear—this syntax doesn’t have four distinct components unless it’s a comment. It likely meant to restrict non-admin users from acting as administrators. If you own the admin account, you could delete that entry with "net localgroup Administrators local service /delete." Otherwise, making the user an administrator is the best approach.
