[BUG] Can't manually add games, or import/export DLLs while running as admin

[rayleigh67]

In the latest version released, when running as administrator it is not possible to add games. and when the program is run without admin privileges, it is not possible to rewrite the dll in the game folder

Same~ish here. If I run it as admin I get this (attached pic). If I don't run it as admin it crashes to desktop.

As dumb as this sounds, bugs outside of DLSS Swappers control means that brining up a file/folder browser dialog in an app running as admin will crash. There is workarounds, but ideally there should be no reason to run the application with admin permissions.

Can you let me know what game folder it is trying to write to?

Thanks for that info @haroldnixon. I'll try install the same OS/feature set in a virtual machine and see if it does the same thing.

Hi, mentioned in other bug, @beeradmoore asked UAC settings. Here we go:

Thats odd @DrewCZ , are you able to not run DLSS Swapper the app as admin?

[DrewCZ]

my issue was because total commander runs under elevated permissions. that's it. mentioned level works well when started under explorer.exe

tested and add game works well! thank you for your help!
