Windows 10: I get a code 740 saying program requires elevation.

When trying to install a program for Time2 Outdoor Surveillance Camera using BTHub6 download I get a message saying program requires elevation, and a code message 740. Is there a solution to this please?

:)

 

Error code 740

I use a programme Time2Surveillance to monitor 2 indoor security cameras in my house. I have not used it since my holiday last year but when I have gone to check their operation I get the following message. Unable to execute file: c:\Program Files (86)\Time2
Surveillance Pro\Time2 Surveillance Pro.exe

Create process failed: code 740 The required operation requires elevation.

The program worked OK last year but there have been several windows updates since it was last used.

I am the only one using the computer and have full administer rights.

The program works fine on my android tablet.

Updated to 1511: "740: The requested operation requires elevation"


In my normal user account (belonging to Users group) I maintain a folder with a bunch of convenient administrative shortcuts, which run certain applications under "Administrator" account through 'runas' utility. Each shortcut's command line looks as

Code:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred "<command line>"

Before update to version 1511 all my shortcuts were working fine. After the update most of them suddenly stopped working. Namely, running mmc shortcuts, like

Code:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred "mmc compmgmt.msc"

produces error "740: The requested operation requires elevation".

Control panel shortcuts like

Code:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred "control appwiz.cpl"

generate a message box

Code:

Code:

::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0\::{7B81BE6A-CE2B-4676-A29E-EB907A5126C5} Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Some applications continue to work, some don't. SysInternal's Autoruns works fine. Far Manager doesn't suffer from it either. But CPU-Z shortcut

Code:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred "C:\Utils\CPU-Z\cpuz_x64.exe"

also fails with "740: The requested operation requires elevation".

Is the something I can change (policy etc.) to restore the pre-1511 behavior?

 

CreateProcess failed; code 740. The requested operation requires elevation
