Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Yes , When opening the application , admin elevation is immediately required.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • I request that the actions that must require admin shall only prompt admin level of permission elevation needed , rest features and app must be able to run without admin need

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Actually when building the app, I tried putting admin to only places where needed but there were so many uses like for symbolic link creation , moving files to elevated folders , or creating , managing and deleting restore points etc , So inserting the prompt after individual actions would overwhelm the user with toooo many prompts , overall poor user experience.

Ok few things....

1.It should be able to check if user can perform certain actions without admin privileges eg:they could have developer mode turned on

2.Once elevated the app should remain running with elevated permissions till its closed/destroyed
