Windows 10: Asking for Administrator permission in a WPF application despite setting...

0I developed a WPF application using .NET 5 and I must run it with administrator privileges. I have created a setup project and added the primary output of my WPF application to it.To accomplish this, I have made sure to set the requestedExecutionLevel attribute to "requireAdministrator" within the application manifest file app.manifest.However, I have encountered an issue where the application does not initiate with elevated privileges as intended. Instead, it prompts the user for Administrator permission when launched.I would greatly appreciate any insights, guidance, or solutions to help

Enable visual styles in WPF application

EUREKA!

Steps:
1) I made a Windows form (HostWPF namespace, Form1 is the form).
2) I added a reference => System.Windows.Forms.Integration which contains classes that enable interoperation between the Windows Forms and WPF technologies. When you use System.Windows.Forms.Integration classes, you can host Windows Forms controls on WPF pages, and WPF elements in Windows Forms-based applications.
3) Then added a control (damn Vi$ual $tudio 2010 does not allow to add a WPF window) but after adding I edited the XMAL code in the way I want *Wink
4) The next steps are simple. Download the first attachment. But => see the photo.
It crashes!!!!!
5) Finally???
We must use System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit(); command because the WPF window behaves like a classical Windows Form.
Download the second attachment. Note that the Windows form's name is Initial.
Enjoy!

Error of asking permission from the administrator

Hello,

The error message that asks permission usually appears when you don't have administrator rights to copy a file or folder. To determine the cause of the issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• What is the exact error message that you're getting?
• Were you able to copy files before without any error?
• Were there any changes made on your PC prior to this?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps provided by Niranjan Manjhi on this
post. It includes guidelines on how to take ownership of a file or folder,
turn off the User Account Control (UAC) which is necessary in preventing unauthorized changes to your computer, and enabling the hidden built-in administrator account on your PC. This was marked as an answer and a lot of Community members
claimed it as helpful and that it solved their problem.

Please update us with the results. We will be glad to assist you.
