In order for debugviewconsole to receive logging from users other then itself, it needs debug access rights.

I could fix it as you suggested and it wouldn't give an error message anymore, but then it would only log messages from the same user account that is running the service...

Does that make sense?

I'm not sure why it is not getting 'debug access rights' while you are running 'as admin'.

Hi Jan, Thank you for such prompt reply actually debugviewconsole was crashing under the windows service... I think it would be sufficient to log messages only from user account that runs the windows service as a workaround

Thanks, Roman

Thanks for reporting and for your analysis, I will look at this once I'm back at home, I'm currently traveling.

@janwilmans Any progress of this issue?

I am also facing the same problem as @Roman-Bober while trying to run DebugViewPP Console as a windows service.
