Run as Trusted Installer on system startup #1563

Closed MadProbe closed 1 year ago

MadProbe commented 1 year ago

Description of the feature, modification, idea or suggestion

I would be happy if System Informer could start up automatically as trusted installer on user log on. This could co-exist with current Enable Run As Admin flag in settings.

Proposed implementation details (optional)

The TrustedInstaller service is created in session 0 while the current user is session +1 and creating cross-session processes requires modifying the window station and desktop security granting Everyone access. System Informer currently requires user interaction before making changes to the desktop security descriptor making it incompatible to launch as TrustedInstaller after startup.

If you need to start applications with TI at startup then dedicated software like NSudo/NanaRun is better at creating systeminformer.exe with TrustedInstaller (they change the security descriptors automatically without user interaction) 👍 https://github.com/M2TeamArchived/NSudo/ https://github.com/M2Team/NanaRun
