Dear all,

I start HWiNFO64 since years now with a non-admin user on Win10 via the shell:startup script using the command runas /noprofile /savecred /user:administrator "C:\Program Files\HWiNFO64\HWiNFO64.EXE"

Up to version 7.72-5355 everything was working well, with v8.00 I get now the error: 740: The requested operation requires elevation

Cheers

Hi! Try something like this:
runas /noprofile /user:Admin "cmd /c Start /b C:\Tools\System\HwInfo64.exe"
It works for me (Win10 x64)
