In order for DisplayFusion to be able to manage elevated windows, it also needs to be elevated. You can exit DisplayFusion, then right-click the DisplayFusion shortcut and choose "Run as administrator," and that should solve this issue, though you might run into a couple of other minor issues when doing that.

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all.

Thanks! ]]> Can DF control programs running as other user? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-df-control-programs-running-as-other-user/?ID=992b5cec-acd0-4667-9713-23c7f2950797 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:28:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-df-control-programs-running-as-other-user/?ID=992b5cec-acd0-4667-9713-23c7f2950797 DisplayFusion My Windows 7 user on my work laptop is not a local admin, however I have the credentials for the local admin account. When I click on the "Show processes from all users" within Task Manager, I get prompted for the credentials of an admin account. After entering them, the Task Manager restarts as the local admin account and DF no longer seems to be able to "control" it.

Is that "normal" or a known limitation?

Thanks! ]]>
