Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A plugin called 'WinHotkey' need administrator previlages to run properly which resulted me to ask for this feature.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option in the General settings below 'Start flow Launcher at system startup' as 'Run Flow launcher as administrator on startup' or something like so.

Describe alternatives you've considered

My single cell smooth brain worked very hard but couldn't find an alternative.

Additional context

Please add this feature.

  • open Task Manager
  • go to the Startup tab
  • find flow launcher in the list
  • right click -> Properties -> Compatibility
  • check Run this program as an administrator

i have used task scheduler to achieve the same but it would be nice if an option can be added to run flow launcher as administrator.

And when running flow Launcher as administrator is launches all the other applications/programs also with administrator permission without showing any UAC prompt, this is a very big security issue, please look into the matters. 😊
