    last update - no longer need to enter password running e.g. procexp


    I have a laptop that I don't run as an administrator. Before the resent update, if I wanted to run a program such as process explorer or open vpn, it would require me to enter my password. Now it only requires me to click a yes to the user account dialog (do you want to let this program modify your system).

    Is this what is supposed to happen now? Or was I hacked in some way?

    :)

    Impossibility on Win 10 of entering new router password on tablet without keyboard

    When attempting to enter the password to a router on my tablet, touching the keyboard icon causes the list of routers to disappear. Using a keyboard solved the problem, but situations occur (e.g., in a restaurant) when one needs to enter a password when
    a keyboard isn't available.

    How to change wifi password on Windows 10?

    Most convoluted process to enter an updated Wi-Fi password. It would be ideal to give an option to enter a password when the existing password no longer works.

    Sound like your standard user account type has been change to administrator user account see if this is the case by opening Start Menu --> Control Panel --> User Accounts.

    Ah, yes, now I remember. Some update changed something that made it too much trouble to be a user acct, so I changed it.

    thanks!
