Resolve won't appear on Limited User account in Windows

PostSun Jan 17, 2021 6:08 am

On Windows 10 Home (build 1904 64-bit) I have both an Administrator account and a Limited User account, I normally use the Limited User account to prevent viruses.

After installation, the main Resolve application only shows up on the Administrator account (though some components like the RAW Player, RAW Speed Test, DaVinci Control Panels and Fairlight Studio Utility show up on both accounts). I've tried installing while logged into both the Limited User account and the Administrator account but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also tried versions 16 and 17.

I guess if all else fails I could just use it on the Administrator account but I'd rather not, is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!!

That's really not necessary if you know what you're doing. Use an Admin account for Resolve.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
