    Public Library Gaming Dilemma


    I am head of IT at a public library that runs about 30 computers. We recently installed Fortnite by popular request so the teens in our new Gaming Space could play. The only issue we are having is our public computers are set to not have administrator privileges. So, many times during the day our staff has to walk around and enter the password for the administrator account so Easy Anti Cheat can run before Fortnite is launched. It is a security risk for our staff to do this, but we don't want to remove the game either. How could I bypass UAC for one program? I tried the task scheduler trick to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

    :)

    Sudden Change - Missing Public Libraries in Win 10

    Ran the restore, but all it did was remove my printer, which was the only option after clicking next on System Restore. It did nothing to correct the problem and I had to reinstall my printer/scanner afterward. I have no KB number that appeared under system
    restore. I also noticed that when I click on the libraries option where I once had the public folders listed, I now have OneDrive listed with no folders or files present (because there are none on OneDrive). Seems like OneDrive libraries have replaced my Public
    libraries. I know my files still exist, it is just a pain to have to use the work around by pinning each library folder to Quick View.

    Sudden Change - Missing Public Libraries in Win 10

    Hi Keith

    The suggestion is good, but I cannot see any of the Public library folders in Quick View to begin with so I cannot right click on them in file explorer.

    Public Library Gaming Dilemma

    Public documents sharing

    My question is how do other computers see it as homegroup window does not list public folders?

    I know how to put files into public it is the next step that I am not understanding in setting up the network/computers etc to see the public folders.

    I have spent a day trying to understand/working out how to do this it is not obvious as the homegroup page only shows library folders that I do not want to share.

    So how do I get the homegroup to show public folders?
