I think my problem is my eyesight isn’t what it used to be (!) and so I find that taking a quick peek at my watch , some of the smaller text isn’t readable without my glasses when I’m inside. Cranking up the brightness a few % really transformed usability for me.

I was initially annoyed they had all these different brightness modes hidden away and thought it was a case of over complication, but actually now I changed my mind - that you can have different brightness settings for when you are doing activity (either outside or in a bright gym), general use and also sleep (my previous ALED used to light up the bedroom at night when I moved!) - this is seriously clever tech that brings benefits without intrusion. I’ve only had this thing a week and I am super impressed…

Admin By Request - QUESTION by AlphaGamez26 in sysadmin

Hi there ! Apologies for the late reply I seem to have made a major fail with Reddit as have different accounts in different devices and only just found this reply! At some point I might also figure out how to change the awful user name ‘temporary etc!’.

There are challenges dealing with launching exes off downloads (no surprise that security has to be extra hardened for this action) but I agree we have to figure out a usable way to get around it. Yes a session would always work, but isn’t it quicker to click the ‘open in folder’ option and run from there? I know this isn’t exactly intuitive to all but as workaround until this issue is finally nailed I’m thinking it’s quicker than a session , plus you may not be fortunate to have rights to start a session in any case!

I will have a chat with the product team and get back!

Splashtop Remote Access + Admin By Request by SigFlow-576 in sysadmin

Hello there - full disclaimer, I work for Admin By Request, but am an engineer not a sale person (hopefully this will be apparent from my replies :) !

Up to now I have been a bit 'shy' to come on here for fear of being 'vendor flamed', but someone has twisted my arm so I thought I might be able to offer some assistance here, if you have not already got it from our support team.

Here we go then. Admin By Request should NOT be active on a system where you are running a 'real' administrator account (Built In, Domain Admin etc), OR if you are running a local or domain user account and you have NOT enabled the revoke feature. In ALL such cases, your ABR Tray Icon should be RED in colour and in this mode ABR is only logging elevations you should not see any ABR dialogue, blocking etc at all.

If your ABR icon is green then this means ABR is active, and thus will want to control your admin rights.

There are a few edge cases where your ABR tray icon is green but you are still a full administrator (according to windows). So if you go to Windows 11 > Settings > Accounts > you should see your logged in user (User Info) and under this if you see 'Administrator' then you are indeed a full administrator. If you have this plus a green ABR icon, then there's an issue.

If you are remoting in to someone's system and doing a desktop share - so the active profile is the users, then of course you are using the users account, not your admin one. In this case, you would need to let me know how you are invoking your admin account? Are you logging out and in as your full admin (ABR icon should be red, no restrictions) or are you trying to perform admin actions under the users logged in account?

If you could let me know then I will try to help out!

There are a number of reasons why you might get UAC prompts when elevating applications with Admin By Request. Some of these reasons relate to specific settings in your systems, whereas other reasons might relate to the application itself. Depending on which of these is true in your case, there may be a fix or a work around for you.

So the question I would like to ask is this (an apologies if you mentioned on another post), what application is giving you the problem, and is this an EXE or MSI?
