    Windows Modules Installer = Trusted Installer = the super rights

    it's core part of the system, how or why do you remove it?

    We wouldn't need NSudo if it worked

    devxexec and psexec gets the system account rights, not Trusted Installer

    I would like how to add "Open with NSudo" context menu that would at least open NSudo with Admin right + All Privileges + set to TrustedInstaller, but it would be way better additionally to opening NSudo with special rights, it would auto-select the .exe on which you clicked "Open with NSudo" . Making it auto-select and launch too is probably not a good choice as you may want to open other .exe files with that directory or use System or Process rights. How do I make it happen? I know how to create the context menu, but not the commands required and whater else is needed...

    I am writing the NSudo Context Menu for File Explorer.
    But I care about whether to bypass the UAC.

    It does not matter what version of iso it started with (most likely en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_6052766.iso)
    It is Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] 2012 R2 Standard US

    The way I see it is that NSudo is so awesome because it forces .exe to launch AS TrustedInstaller TEMPORARILY and that means there are no ties/connections between the restricted User/Admin and the changes made when you finish the task. That is so much better than Take Ownership which makes the User/Admin own what they are not supposed to permanently unless they disown and that leads to problems, in my experience. If you can do the same with UAC and make a TEMPORARY UAC bypass that will preserve User/Admin UAC settings when the task is complete with NSudo then it would be awesome! Context Menu for NSudo would be like the gift from Gods!

    There seems to be a serious bug in NSudo.

    This will not import at all when used with TrustedInstaller...

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "EnableAutoTray"=dword:00000000
    "ShowFrequent"=dword:00000000
    "ShowRecent"=dword:00000000

    current user for NSudo = system account

    you won't get it or your actual account

    try to use the specific SID paths, e.g.
    Code:
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2139140494-421022450-60836837-1001]
