Unable to use Elevation Mode

[srbs73]

As most of the apps I want to arrange are running in Admin mode, I wanted to enable Elevation Mode, however MaxTo just repeatedly crashes and doesn’t enable. I can therefore on manage apps running in Normal mode.

Tried right clicking on MaxTo Icon to initially run in Admin mode but it immediately crashes with “Unrecoverable error”. Log file for this time: Error log.txt

Expectation is it can be configured to always start as Admin and manage apps in admin mode.

Running Windows 10 and MaxTo version 2.0.0-beta3

Thank you for reporting this. The error log does not contain any relevant fatal errors; so it is really hard for me to debug this. Can you get me the contents of the file %LocalAppData%\MaxTo\machine.id? It contains a randomly generated machine identifier that lets me look up any crashes you may have encountered in our online crash reporting.

Hi there, here you go: 5d3c3c2f5fe94d71bd459f345c0b0b47

After a bit of looking, I think this may be an issue with "Start on logon". Can you try disabling that setting in your config.json file, and then deleting the "MaxTo" task in Task Scheduler?

I don’t have a task in Task Scheduler for maxto and config.json already has start on logon disabled:

If you open the log file when you receive that crash report, what does it say?

[vegardlarsen]

I can confirm that this issue exists; and that the error message should not have been shown. This will be fixed for beta.4.
