How are you launching Files as admin?
- run a CMD as admin
- run
"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\49306atecsolution.FilesUWP_2.3.3.0_x64__et10x9a9vyk8t\Files.exe"
me personally use Everything
to locate and launch some softwares some days. Does it means that we should not run any UWP softwares like that?
It not how programs should be ran. Files will ask for admin when it needs it. If you open it the normal way via the start menu does it work?
