    Thanks for the screenshot Daddyo37!

     

    You mentioned you were using version 191 of the app, however there's a latest update (192) out. 

     

    Can you try running the installer, to update the app while following these steps?

Walter, I can check - but should I, given that the problem was announced solved some 40 versions ago? Does this particular update has release notes regarding the UAC issue?

My OS is Windows 11 Pro, 10.0.22631

Yes, you should always update to the latest version as those usually fix bugs and contain improvements YuriGubanov 

Let us know if the issue persists though, and we'll take it from there.

    Sorry, but since the release notes have no mention of the UAC issue fix, there is little sense to hope that this update will solve the issue. There are no miracles in the world. Please raise the bugfix request with the development. Looks like the bug is there for 40+ versions.
