I found it rather strange as well, I don't have any special permissions going on.  Just a clean install of Windows. Since it is not the Pro version, we are not connected to any domain's or anything.  Really strange I know.

Thanks for your help,

windows 10 home 1903 with all current updates as of this post.  Also to mention that this was a fresh install from a ISO created from the Microsoft Media Creation download from Microsoft, made in September of this year.

64 bit windows install

good luck

OK.

I did indeed create my own shortcut on my desktop.  Right-clicking on the said shortcut and going to "Run as Administrator" does not work via the shortcut but you can go to the Properties of the shortcut and go to the compatibility tab and check the "Run this program as Administrator" checkbox there and it will work fine.

you can also go directly to the file in the portable folder and right-click "Run as Administrator" from there and that works fine as well.  This did not work when I posted this, but it is working now.

Thanks,

Yes, my user is an administrator, and I have fully exited the application as well.  The computer is a fresh install of Windows, and I have recently tried my other laptop as well, where this shows the same issue.  I have even rebooted the computer as well.

Please be sure to see the topic, this is the Portable version of the viewer, so there would not be a Desktop shortcut unless I had actually made one.

Thank you

When I try to start MSI configurator, it tells me to exit and to run as Administrator.  I try to do this and nothing happens.  Try rebooting, still nothing.  It will run fine normally, but it will not let me "Run as Administrator"

Thanks,
