Run As Administrator w/ Final Draft 9
Hi there,
I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday and for the most part, it was fantastic. I love the look and feel of it, but there's this one thing that kept being a problem for me: I'm an aspiring screenwriter and like most aspiring screenwriters (and most professionals), my software of choice is Final Draft 9. Now, Final Draft 9 often suffers an error that prevents from saving files as PDFs unless you right-click the Final Draft icon and select "Run As Administrator." I used to able to do this without any problems in Windows 8.1, but after upgrading to Windows 10, I would select "Run As Administrator", confirm that I wanted to open the software, and nothing would happen. The only time I ever got the software to open was when I double-clicked on it, which caused me to run afoul of the error I mentioned above.
At the moment, I've rolled back my computer to Windows 8.1 so I can use Final Draft, but I'd really like to be able to use it with Windows 10, which brings me to my question: How do I fix the seeming inability to run Final Draft as an administrator on Windows 10?
