    There you go again, say “A”, say “B.” If you know any other option, it would be nice to voice it, please.

    O-oоh, very good! I already went to the depths and downloaded nanarun_1.0_v.1.0.18.0.0.0.zip for testing.
    :shake:

    p.s. Question: With the NSudo.exe utility, the command looked like this:
    Code:
    “%~dp0Data\Tools\amd64\NSudo.exe” -U:T -P:E “%~dp0Default.cmd”
    How should it look with the GodMode.exe utility?

    Conclusion: how it should look with GodMode.exe

    If GodMode.exe is not NSudo, and does not provide launch functions like TrustedInstaller, then:

    No way.
    Changing NSudo.exe to GodMode.exe simply will not work - these are different tools.
    NSudo has special keys -U:T -P:E, which GodMode does not understand.

    What to do next

    If you know that GodMode really launches the process as TrustedInstaller, you need specific documentation from the author. Without it, I can't help.

    Otherwise, I recommend continuing to use NSudo.exe, it is reliable, understandable and works - just what you used before.

    If you still find documentation for your version of GodMode.exe, with examples of launching as TrustedInstaller, I will gladly help rewrite the command for this!

    Alternative ways to run from TrustedInstaller

    Through Task Scheduler (Task Scheduler + PowerShell)
    In PowerShell, you can create a task and run the program on behalf of TrustedInstaller, although without interactivity:

    $a = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "cmd.exe"
    Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName 'TI' -Action $a
    $svc = (New-Object -ComObject 'Schedule.Service'); $svc.Connect()
    $task = $svc.GetFolder('\').GetTask('TI')
    $task.RunEx($null, 0, 0, 'NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller')

    Works, but is not suitable if you need an interactive
    Super User window
    .

    Through third-party utilities
    NSudo is the most popular. There are PowerRun, PsExec and others, but GodMode.exe is not one of them.
    And in general, listen less to Krylov's fables

    quote
    Code:
    GodMode.exe /m /p /c "cmd /k whoami"
    
    quote

    Code:
    GodMode.exe /m /p /c "cmd /k whoami"
    
    which fail on windows 11. etc etc.
    ...................
    anyway, darki think, it can be re compile in better way,
    so, it will have 0/72, i will find a way.

    The description for this utility says: Godmode.exe - Windows utility to run any command or process with the highest privileges. It sounds tempting and I would like to try it, but I don't understand how to write a command with this utility.

    Probably something like this - will try different command line options:
    Code:
    “%~dp0Data\Tools\amd64\GodMode.exe" /m /p /c  “%~dp0Default.cmd”
    
    p.s. No, no matter how I tried different interpretations of the command line, it didn't work!

    So, for now, I'll leave everything as it was, as it worked fine for me - NSUDO.

    No, unfortunately, none of these three code options worked.

    NSudoLC.exe
    LC = Light Command Line
    This is a "light" console version.
    Works only via the command line.
    No graphical interface.
    Ideal for scripts (Batch, PowerShell), where you need to run commands/scripts on behalf of TrustedInstaller, SYSTEM, etc.

    NSudoLG.exe
    LG = Light GUI
    This is a version with a graphical interface.
    Allows you to select from a list which account to run under (TrustedInstaller, SYSTEM, Admin, etc.).
    Convenient for manually launching applications if you don't want to write commands.

    Total:
    NSudoLC.exe — for scripts and automation.
    NSudoLG.exe — for manual launch with a selection window.

    The keys for NSudoLC.exe and NSudoLG.exe are the same.
    The only difference is how they are launched:
    NSudoLC.exe immediately waits for a command with keys (clean console).
    NSudoLG.exe will open the GUI, but it still understands the same keys if you pass them via the command line.

    Example:
    NSudoLC.exe -U:T -P:E "%~dp0Default.cmd"
    The same can be done with NSudoLG.exe, but then:
    NSudoLG.exe -U:T -P:E "%~dp0Default.cmd"

    But most often NSudoLC.exe is used in automation, because the GUI version sometimes just opens a window instead of silently launching.

    Here are some examples:
    :: Getting Admin Rights by Run Script as Trusted Installer with nSudo or MinSudo or PowerRun
    if /I "%~1" neq "asTrustedInstaller" (
    title Run "%~nx0" Script as Trusted Installer...
    if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\nSudo.exe" (
    rem if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\PowerRun.exe" (
    rem if /I exist "Bin\%arch%\MinSudo.exe" (
    for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\nSudo.exe" -U=T -P=E -CurrentDirectory=%%~dp# "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "nSudo")
    rem for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\PowerRun.exe" /WD:"%%~dp#" "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "PowerRun")
    rem for /f %%# in ('dir /B /A:-D "%~nx0"') do ("%%~dp#Bin\%arch%\MinSudo.exe" -U=T -P=E -CurrentDirectory=%%~dp# "%%~f#" "asTrustedInstaller" "MinSudo")
    ) else (
    echo.
    echo.
    echo.Run "%~nx0" Script from IntegratorW10 folder.
    echo.
    TIMEOUT.exe /T -1
    )
    exit
    )


    The commented lines are alternative check options for PowerRun or MinSudo.
    You can uncomment the line if you want to use another utility.

    This block automatically restarts the script via nSudo / MinSudo / PowerRun.

    After restarting, the asTrustedInstaller parameter is added to the script so that it understands:
    (I already have the necessary rights, I can continue working.)

    Convenient, because you can write the main code below this block, and access will be guaranteed.

    I will pass.

    I will be sticking with release of SD10_Renewed_1.30 or 24H2_Integrator_12.7. W10 Pro and W11 23H2 Pro same expiry (Oct 2025). At final, only 24H2 remains.
