Erunt Question

I am logged in as an administrator. However, if I try to run Erunt by
left clicking the program, I get an error message. So, I right click
and choose 'Run as an Administrator' and it works fine. Why should I
have to do this?

Go into All Programs and find Erunt. Then right click on it > Propertie
> Advanced > Check the box "Run as Administrator" > Apply > OK. Now yo

need not go thru the mimic each time any more. But you will still ge
the usual UAC window

PS: To answer your initial question: Yes you are the admin. But a fe
programs require admin mode (cmd is another one). This is to protec
your system against malware and is usually applied to programs that ca
make major changes in your system.

Thank you very much. That's a piece of information well worth having.

Oops!!! Erunt isn't in All Programs. I tried doing what you suggested
in the program folder - but that option "Run As Administrator" isn't
there.

I also tried your suggestion on another program that I have to right
click on and select "Run As Administrator" in order for it to open with
all options. This program had the check box to "Run As Administrator"
and I checked it off. However, that didn'y work either. I still have
to do the "right click" and select "Run As Administrator."

OK, I found the option to "Run As Administrator" in another box. All
is well now. Thanks again.......

Upon rereading this post, I realized that the most important reason for
running ERUNT from this task is that it runs *before* UAC becomes active.
Therefore, you do not get an elevation requests. It runs seamlessly and
without any need for the user to do anything.

Thank you very much. However, I am not sophisticated enough to
understand how to use this script. Can you elaborate please?

OK, did this. What is the next step? I get a message which says that
the "specified account name is invalid".

As you enter the values, and tick the check boxes in Create a New Task refer back to this email to give you the values to assign. The key to making this work, is to schedule it at/before Log On. This allows ERUNT to run before UAC or Windows Defender become active.
