Yeah it does....

[bpike-tcs]

To clarify - I CAN run other apps (like Command Prompt) as Admin

[crutkas]

reason is we don't enable run as admin for search based items it looks like. Lets get that fixed.

@alekhyareddy28 is this a quick fix to get added in? do you have capacity for .20?

[alekhyareddy28]

Yes, I should be able to do it.

[crutkas]

@bpike-tcs reason why is procexp isn't actually an 'installed' app. For 'installed' apps, we have enable this. We should enable this feature for apps that are found via search

cen we get this fixed before 1.20 ? its probably just a simple switch and i`d like to run my terminal as admin without having to grab my mouse and click something after moving my hand to type. and then moving it back to type.

0.20 is end of this month (about 20 days away). Since this has a PR merged in, i bet this is fully done.

[alekhyareddy28]

Yes it is done. It would be a part of the next release (0.20)

[crutkas]

We just released 0.20 and this should be resolved there. Please try it out.
