Take Command on Windows 11

[BobK]

I have an older TC & I'm happy with it.. I installed it on my new Windows 11 system and i't sort of works..
One annoyance, Win 11 always asks if I want to allow it to run. Is there a way to stop Win 11 from asking ??

I just created a new userid on this Win11 and every time the new user fires it up, it claims it's in a 30 day evaluation! (it's not, I bought it years ago!).. and I have to plug in a name and key ... EVERY TIME it is started along with the win11 "are you sure" ... WHY? and can I stop that?

Thanks for any clues
P.S. STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS 11 It's far from finished.. It's a MESS!

Turns out that Win 11 is reminding you that TC is running with ADMIN privledges (does it do that on win 10 also ?)
Is there a way to 'answer' yes on the command that starts TC?

Also, anyone run Power Shell under Take Command? do they step on each others toes, or 'play nice'?

type UAC in the taskbar and you can drag the slider up or down. I think all the way down turns all protection off.

Hmm UAC's been around since windows 7.
Your older TC version was not designed for win11 keep that in mind.

Completely Disabling UAC's has consequences. Google for more info

Latest versions of TCC and PS do play well together in win10.

No, that's not the case here with my Win 10 Pro x64.

I think that's not the way to go and also too dangerous.

Might help get support if you mentioned what the problems you are experiencing are

UAC was first introduced in Windows Vista, circa 2008. And I have been completely turning it off since then, with no terrible consequences.

Ok, it seems YOU not. However: it's still not good!

I have always left it on with very little inconvenience. You can get an elevated TCC without any UAC prompt using a scheduled task (run TCC, highest privileges, run on demand). I have an AutoHotKey shortcut (Ctrl-Alt-A) that looks like this. The "hide" hides the schtasks.exe console.

!^a::
Run schtasks /run /tn TCCAdmin,,hide
return

Before AutoHotKey I used schtasksw.exe, a GUI (no console) version of schtasks.exe which I made by altering schtasks.exe with DevStudio's editbin.exe. I do that for RegEdit using a PowerPro toolbar button but it could be done with a shortcut or, I imagine, by a variety of other means.

Being a systems and network administrator for decades, I've found UAC inconvenient at first, but I reviewed my policies when my account became Domain Administrator.
Since then, I find it more convenient to run with Yes/No UAC prompts rather than run under regular user and having to enter username and password on every prompt. Especially considering overly stupid game updaters that ask for system access permissions where they do not need them for anything useful. (Blizzard, I'm looking at you.)

I've always been a believer in layered protection. If one layer gets bruteforced then you have another layer for it to deal with. So if you've had no terrible consequences that's the cat's whiskers!

I ran into something similar with an old version of TC after updating to Windows 11. The constant prompts asking if you want to allow the app to run are a pain. I found that adding the app to the list of allowed apps in the security settings can help stop these prompts. Also, it’s annoying when the software thinks it’s in a trial period. This happened to me too, and I had to re-enter the license key every time. I found operatingsystems.info helpful for troubleshooting these kinds of issues—there’s a good guide there on resetting settings that might fix this problem.

What version of TCC are you running? Microsoft changed some APIs & Windows Policies a few years ago that will prevent an older version of TCC from saving the registration info to the Registry. If you run TCC elevated and enter your registration key in that session, then normal TCC sessions should start without the trial prompt.
