I bet if you did a poll, to see who would be in favour of the dev removing the code preventing all work-arounds (which I imagine is just a fairly uncomplicated block(s) of code which say "if not fully admin in admin environment, fuck off" vs who wants to be kept safe.. (while being forced to do...

That would require typing your administrator password, into a user account. Something I never do, because I consider it again, irresponsibly insecure. What if you had a keylogger or a virus.. limited to your user space by your limited account, just waiting to capture that? Nope, will never EVER...

What are you even talking about? I'm not the one taking the "we're going to create a perfectly secure environment" tact. Wouldn't that more be what you're doing? "You can't run my software unless it's 100% secure for you to do so." YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE APP. WITH ONE VULNERABILITY. And how...

You mean everyone here, having issues with the program are running as administrator? That is a disaster of computer security exponentially greater than the one you think you're fixing: ^ link seems to be old and dead Here's just a "bleepingcomputer" article: Removing User Admin Rights...

'Trolling'. Nice cope word. So... you use your own software right..? You mean to tell me.. you run it in an admin account? The MOST irresponsible thing you can do when it comes to your computer's security? Or do you just run it to monitor a quick few things and go back to your limited account...

So it's exactly as I supposed it was, and I 'trashed' you for good reason, but please don't take it personally. I want to use your software. But also, I've seen you 'help' users on the forum over the years, as they struggle and struggle, wasting hours trying to get HWiNFO to work with auto-start...

AND ANOTHER THING. (I'm fairly passionate about this, and my computer security in general... but particularly because I just invested in a 6 inch little LCD in plans of this HWiNFO+Rainmeter setup (and I don't think Rainmeter takes input from other apps, or.. not as much info), and my plans are...

Hell I've 'tricked' 'FanControl' (BEAUTIFUL software btw) into running almost like a service via Task Scheduler, as admin and user. It runs non-interactively, but it controls my fans as I've designed the curves under the administrator account. Again this makes me think this limitation is...

Years and years, upon searching, I see users have been trying to run HWiNFO under a Limited/user account, and it still seems to remain undoable. I've tried every trick suggested and every I could rack my brain to think of: using schtasks in a particular way, using runas with the /env flag...
