You're an invaluable resource for binaryfortress. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion run as Task (Elevated) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#4 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 16:55:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#4 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks! I was able to reproduce this here and have added this to our list to fix up. The issue looks like it might be due to the fact that DisplayFusion auto-elevates in the manifest, so I'm not sure if we'd be able to work around that, but we'll see what we can do.

In the meantime, you can work around this by having your Scheduled Task launch DisplayFusion via cmd.exe. Please see the attached screenshot for details.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: DisplayFusion run as Task (Elevated) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#3 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:04:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#3 DisplayFusion

Is your user account part of the administrators group?


Yes, per above.

Contrary to that It wouldn't matter if the account was not part of the administrators group when applying "Run with highest privileges." ]]> RE: DisplayFusion run as Task (Elevated) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#2 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 20:14:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471#2 DisplayFusion Is your user account part of the administrators group? ]]> DisplayFusion run as Task (Elevated) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:10:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-run-as-task-elevated/?ID=49faece5-d19f-4295-ac80-5ea892fa7471 DisplayFusion The following error displays when attempting to run DisplayFusion as a Task.

"The requested operation requires elevation. (0x800702E4)"

I use a shortcut (C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN "myTasks\_autoElevateDisplayFusion.xml") in the startup folder, but the task does not run. I've also attempted to run the Task from within Task scheduler but also refuses to run. I've also changed the DisplayFusion directory owner from administrator to admin to my windows username, neither options work.

DisplayFusion runs fine with "Start with Windows" in settings checked, but I'm moving all my startup applications to Task scheduler versus application managed. No other applications that I've setup in Task scheduler have issues.
