Hi. Sorry if this has been covered before. I did a quick forum search and didn't find anything specific.
I have the option to run Everything on system startup and it does run but the UAC prompt get's in the way of a proper startup. I tried using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to get around the UAC prompt (I have used it before with other software but not on Windows 8) but it does not seem to work for me or it doesn't work for computer startup and software UAC prompts. Maybe it only works for launching software from the desktop?
Is there a workaround or fix for Windows 8? For the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit workaround I followed this guide.
Thanks.
