I have a program called BlueIris for monitoring my security cameras, and I have added it to the startup folder (shell:startup) and the only issue is that this program requires that it  run as admin, and I have changed the shortcut to run as admin, but it does not load now (it loaded prior to changing admin setting), but according to the taskmanager the program is running, but it is obviously not loaded and does not load until I execute it via the shortcut I have on the desktop. Is there any reason that this should be an issue, and any idea on how to fix it?

Make a scheduled task to do what you want. Setting a startup program to run as administrator in compatibility settings will not allow it to happen unattended, it would still need user interaction.

OK, I created a task to load on startup, but it did not load. The task was created and under actions it is start a program, which I have specified the path to, and under General, it is set to run only when user is logged in and tun with highest privileges.

What (if anything) is wrong with this?

I manually ran the task, and the software came up indicating that it required admin access, despite the fact that I told the task to run it that way.

Hi

 

It was me who mentioned BlueIris to you so I feel a sense of responsibility here.

 

Are you aware that BlueIris does not need the app to run at startup; it can run as a service, the app is only there to administer this service?  Hence the App wants to be run as Administrator, but that's reasonable.

Have you done any of the mobile stuff, push notifications to its mobile app?

No, the mobile app is $9.99, and reading the reviews it sounds like it's really slow and does not work very well. As far as anything else mobile, I have not tried to setup notifications, I have 2 apps that allow me to access my camera's remotely.

    • AliExpress faces EU crackdown, makes promises to fight illegal products

      By zikalify · Posted

      AliExpress faces EU crackdown, makes promises to fight illegal products by Paul Hill The European Commission has taken two significant actions against the Chinese online marketplace AliExpress under the Digital Services Act (DSA) in a bid to enhance user and consumer safety online. The first action was to get AliExpress to commit to several legally binding commitments to address issues related to advertising and recommender systems. The second action was the publication of preliminary findings which found that AliExpress had breached obligations regarding the spread of illegal products. AliExpress can now respond to the Commission but if the broken rules are confirmed then AliExpress can expect to be fined. The Digital Services Act is a new tool that the EU has to regulate large online platforms. It aims to level the business playing field, protect fundamental rights of users, create a safer digital space, and improve transparency from businesses. AliExpress's pledges: More transparency, safer shopping As part of the pledges made by AliExpress, it will do more to monitor and detect illegal products such as medicines, food supplements, and adult material propagated through hidden links and affiliate programs. To help flag illegal items, AliExpress has promised to improve its notice and action mechanism. Other pledges include enhancements to the internal complaint handling system; more transparency for advertising and recommender systems; better traceability of traders on the platform; and improved data access for researchers. By implementing these rules, the European Commission hopes it can make AliExpress safer for registered and non-registered users by limiting the exposure to illegal content. Deep dive into AliExpress's alleged failures With regards to the preliminary findings, the Commission found that AliExpress had underestimated the risks because it had not allocated enough resources to moderation systems for illegal products. It also found that the company had failed to consistently enforce its penalty policy against those publishing illegal content. The Commission also discovered systemic failures in AliExpress’s proactive content moderation systems that allowed malicious traders to continue to operate or start operating on the platform. AliExpress is designated as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) which means it has to meet certain standards set out by the EU. The aforementioned violations are against the quality of operation that the EU expects from VLOPs. The company now has the right to defend itself against the EC’s findings, it can examine the documents and reply in writing, but if the findings are confirmed, AliExpress could face fines and be required to submit an action plan.
    • Sony and Bungie delay Marathon indefinitely after 'passionate feedback' from community

      By thartist · Posted

      Author/Neowin... The title is incorrect and misleading... By the official blog post, it's not "indefinitely". There's a clear statement that development continues with a few specific target areas, and a new release date TBD and announced later. If it is later announced to be cancelled or delayed indefinitely, that's another story.

    • Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is

      By Tomek Święcicki · Posted

      I hate Microsoft. My parents almost lost all drive content. As senior citizens they are unable to follow constant "improvements" Microsoft is dropping on its users. My mother's laptop is normally unlocked with a PIN. It is unexplicable for non-It person, that there is some cloud mictosoft account, that has a different password than the Pin and user ID is e-mail, but not necessarily normal Gmail addree, and even if the person knows this email address the password is not the password used for this email account. Just too much of twists. Suddenly her laptop ordered entering "decryption key" before booting. It was miracle we managed to guess email address associated with the PC that was used for Microsoft account. She would had lost everything on the drive. Why are they doing this? Privacy may be important for some people, but data loss is much more important for most of the people.
    • It's a feature, not a bug: Windows Hello face unlock no longer works in the dark

      By monterxz · Posted

      Yesterday I've got a notification that Windows Hello couldn't recognize me and asked if I would like to improve it after I manually entered my PIN in the dark If it weren't for an article like this, I would still think that there's something wrong with my camera. I can just imagine how many people are not reading tech news and are still confused.
