| Summary | 0009094: UAC elevation doesn't work on Windows 7 x64 system | ||||
| Description | User reported MM always asking UAC elevation on Windows 7 x64 system when when nothing was changed. Based on internal testing, it's caused somehow by elevation COM object. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Similar to 0008943: 1 Remove all instances of MM / previous configurations 2 Login to account with admin privileges, and install MM 3 Switch to user with Standard account privileges and run MM --> elevation prompt 4 Close/Restart MM 5 Make a config change that requires restart/elevation e.g. Switch Languages (Tools > Options > General) 6 Close/Restart MM --> elevation prompt 7 Close/Restart MM --> elevation prompt Step 7 will occur ad infinitum | ||||

Never had an issue like that can you give steps to reproduce? |
|
|
Added repro steps. Basically just do an operation in a non admin account that depends on elevation. |
|
|
Related findings: Upon installing MM as standard user the bug also occurs. e.g. 1 Remove all instances of MM / previous configurations 2 Login to account with standard privileges, and install MM and run from installer --> elevation prompt 3 Go through startup wizard and scan drives --> elevation prompt at last step 4 Close/Restart MM --> elevation prompt on restart and MM prompts the user through the startup wizard _again_!! i.e. even though MM appeared to run elevated at step 3, none of the configuration changes were actually saved. |

Test note: verify 0009094, 0008943, 0004912 and related usecases. |

1471 Still happening under rusty steps and I was being able to replicate using your steps where I would Add steps 2.1 Do not start MM just finish installation 3.1 Cancel MM First start wizard NOTE Step 2.2: Do not logoff from Admin user but that should not make any change even if you logoff Observation: As soon as I disabled associate Filenames on startup continuing Elevation prompt stops |
|
|
I guess that the best solution would be to Disable all Admin/elevate functions when MM is run as standard user and correct defaults to ensure that no elevated prompt would happen on startup. |

assigned to me as retest. |
