That's the UAC (User Account Control) at work. Some people have it disabled because of it's annoyance nature. I have mine disabled. If you want to disable it, click on your user picture in Start Menu. On the window that come up, click the last link that says Turn User Account Control on or off, untick the box there and click OK.

Before people say this is a bad move, why do I have mine disabled and I don't encounter any problems this feature claims to protect against? It's excatly the same as running XP.

Right Click on EXE then properties-> Compatibility Tab -> Check "Run this program as an administrator"->Apply-> OK.

Shouldn't bug you anymore.

:( It still bugs me.

I don't want to disable UAC. Is there any other way?

Vanguard is one of the most poorly written applications I have ever encountered, and at least last year when I played it for a short time - it broke every rule about running on non-admin accounts.

Bug Sigil to fix their god awful game. Or play a real MMO like LOTRO, which is actually written the way Windows applications are supposed to be written (not to mention it's way more fun and actually has people in it). And you only need to elevate every couple months when there's an update.

If you've not played it in the past 6 months you have no room to bicker. The game has massively improved.

If they're still requiring an elevation prompt to play it, that's not a good sign. Plus I'm not bickering, I merely commented on the code quality of a game that never should have been released given the state it was in. Hard to really care if they've made it better, since an MMO with players isn't terribly interesting, and there are vastly superior alternatives out there.

      May be they wanted to keep it intentionally for Apple?
    • Raid 1 - How does it copy?

      By Sir Topham Hatt · Posted

      From what I understand, RAID 1 makes a copy of one disk. How does it do this? If something happened to one drive, could I take the other one out, plug it into a PC and use it like a normal disk? I have two hard drives that have the same information on - a bit of protection if one drive fails. But I've just been manually copying the data twice.
    • Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation by Paul Hill SharePoint, Microsoft’s enterprise content management solution that allows organizations to set up internal pages and share documents, has just got a big update with the new Modern Page Templates. Microsoft said that it’s going to be rolling out the feature to customers globally between early July and early August. Organization members that want to set up pages on SharePoint using the new templates can do so from multiple entry points including the Site Home (the home of a Communication or Teams site), App Bar (the persistent navigation pane on the left of SharePoint), and the New Web Part (a webpart that displays and creates news posts directly on pages). By giving colleagues multiple access points to the new templates, there’s more chance they’ll be found and used. By including plenty of swanky templates, Microsoft is making it so you can spend less time designing pages, and more time filling them with content that really matters. If you want to create a new page using the templates, just go to New > Page and select a template “From Microsoft”. If you were making a news post, you would go to New > News post then you’d be presented with the new Template Gallery where you can select a custom template created by your colleagues under “Saved on this site”. While these new templates are coming to customers globally next month, Microsoft is already busy working on new features to make templates easier to discover and make them more useful. For example, it is building tenant-wide custom templates that can be published across sites for organization-wide use, and it’s working on Copilot templates that you can use when creating pages with Copilot. Neither of these features was given a release timeline. Customers won’t need to do anything to start using Modern Page Templates as they’ll be available automatically as it rolls out worldwide across tenants. For those who want to dive deeper, Microsoft will be publishing additional documentation and guidance about this feature soon.

      Unless there is “bug” that all of a sudden sends your messages to Meta. Where have I heard this before?!
