How to run DR via non-admin Windows account?

PostWed Apr 21, 2021 8:31 pm

Hi,
I'm the single user of a Windows 10 PC, but I don't use an account with administrative rights as my daily login for security reasons. When I install DR (requires administrative rights), DR is only available in the account with administrative rights, it doesn't install for all users. I need to have it run in the account without administrative rights. I hit a wall searching for solutions. Any ideas?
Cheers,

In my view, it's not only fine but advisable to do this job using an Admin User Account.

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

Thanks Jim. Yes to install I must use an admin account, I'm fine with that. The issue is getting it to run daily from a non-admin account.

The penny finally dropped... change account to admin temporarily, install, change back to standard user afterwards. duh! :roll:
