Not an issue but an oddity regarding Windows UAC

Open phlnx opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The scenario: I have EDEngineer installed on two different Windows 10 machines, same OS version (Windows 10 Pro 20H2). In one machine I am running Elite Dangerous from Steam, while in the other machine it is from Epic Games. In both cases the user account logging on to Windows has administrative privileges.

On first PC, upon running EDEngineer, Windows asks for elevated privileges in order to execute the app. On the second PC, EDEngineer runs smoothly without any UAC intervention.

Just wondering what might be the difference. From what I can tell, I configured EDEngineer the same way in both cases, exposing local APIs. In both cases I have kept EDEngineer updated to the latest version.

Thank you for your help.

edengineer should work without UAC unless maybe you have like the API ( that requires opening a socket) on or something like that

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate that. As mentioned I do have API active on both istances.
