Add 'Run with priority' Context Menu in Windows 10  

Paul Black said:

[1] Sorry, was it the Add Run With Priority or the Add Take Ownership that removed the Run as Administrator?
[2] Yes, I did use the Take Ownership context menu from the TenForums tutorial!

Yes, the Add Take Ownership could have removed it depending on which version you used.

Just to verify, did you download and use the current version of the "Take Ownership" context menu from the tutorial, and didn't use some older copy you had on the drive?

It shouldn't remove "Run as administrator" for executable type files.

OK thanks. I have downloaded the latest Add Run With Priority and Add Take Ownership. I will test them again tomorrow.

So if it was the Take Ownership that removed the Run as Administrator, then that means that it was the Add Run With Priority that caused me to not being able to open anything and it giving me the message I posted above. Again, I will test it tomorrow and report back.

Thanks for your time, it is appreciated.

The current Take Ownership in our tutorial here will not remove "Run as administrator". It may be possible you used an old version or a version from another site that removed "Run as administrator".

The message may have been caused by an issue with how you set or removed the default app for that file type.

I now have the current Take Ownership from your tutorial and will run it tomorrow.

It was ALL programs etc, I had to right-click them and then select Open file location and then right-click them and select Run as Administrator.

I will test both the Add Run With Priority and Add Take Ownership tomorrow and report back.

Thanks again!

Ok. I'll be here.

Why not simply use an elevated desktop shortcut? Create Elevated Shortcut without UAC prompt in Windows 10

Thanks Matthew Wai.

Hello @Brink,

It turned out that I WAS using an old version. I used the NEW version and the problem went away!

I also created a .reg file and the other problem went away . . .
