Why is the __COMPAT_LAYER variable defined? #43

Closed sebetci closed 2 years ago

sebetci commented 2 years ago

__COMPAT_LAYER is defined as environment variable on Windows 10 Pro and its value is RunAsInvoker.

C:\> ECHO %__COMPAT_LAYER%
RunAsInvoker

Why is the __COMPAT_LAYER variable defined in this script? Which Windows OS is targeted to the following definition?

I found out why you are assigning this variable (__COMPAT_LAYER). That's why I'm closing the issue.

__COMPAT_LAYER is a system environment variable that allows you to set compatibility layers, which are the settings you can adjust when you right-click on an executable, select Properties, and go to the Compatibility tab.
