Workaround: run Windhawk as admin Suggestion: add an option to run Windhawk as admin

m417z commented 1 year ago

Ate you using the portable version of Windhawk? If so, that's by design - if Windhawk isn't running as administrator, it can't customize apps running as administrator.

I'm using the portable version. I will create a shortcut to open as admin then.

vanbang9710 commented 1 year ago

I can open the shortcut as admin manually but when put in startup folder, it doesn't work. The normal shortcut works fine.

m417z commented 1 year ago

You can use Task Scheduler or a dedicated tool to auto-start Windhawk portable as administrator, but unless there's a good reason, the best solution is to just use the non-portable version.

vanbang9710 commented 1 year ago

Could you please explain why it doesn't work with startup folder?

m417z commented 1 year ago

Because Windows doesn't launch startup shortcuts as administrator. You can Google for it for more information, but it's about Windows, not Windhawk.
