Can it be launching without admin rights? #58

Maybe a stupid question. Just a small request that Lenovo Vantage doesn't require admin rights to work while LLT does?

BartoszCichecki commented 2 years ago

Yes, because Vantage is not really doing anything on it's own. All of the logic is infact executed within services like "ImController" which runs with elevated (admin) rights. Since Toolkit is a single exe app, it does not have a service, therefore it needs to start with admin rights.

If you enable autorun, Toolkit configures a scheduled task to start it with admin rights and does not show UAC prompt when it autoruns.
