Context open demands elevation

Post by AceDashDog »

Just migrated from Win10 to Win11, installed my same version of textpad

When I context open a file I get "The requested operation requires elevation" andit fails to work

UAC is off

Textpad has been set to always run as Administrator in its' properties.

Users have Full Control on the file

Thanks!

5.4
But I found out what it was. Win11 for some reason bans drag and drop from elevated to non elevated and vv. So if TP is running elevated, you can't dd from File Explorer to it. The same applies to context menu launch

Set TP to run not as administrator, and it all works
