ms store and taskmanager

Hi,

I would like to know if you're still having this issue with MS Store and Taskmanager. In line with this, kindly provide the following information:

• What is the error message when running MS Store and Taskmanager?
• Were there any changes made before this issue came up?
• What is the build and version of your Windows 10? To find out which version of Windows your PC is running, press Windows logo key + R, type
  winver, then select OK.
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

I'm looking forward to your response.

 

UAC & standard users with additional privileges

I am marking this problem as solved. The problem was:

Allow a standard user to enable/disable a network without having to enter a password every time.

My solution for Windows 7 was:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. Create a shortcut to the network adapter.
4. Right-click on the shortcut to see or change the state of the network adapter.

I have received many useful and instructive suggestions on Tenforums. Based on those suggestions,
here's my solution for Windows 10:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. In a cmd window, run this command
netsh interface show interface
to learn the name of the network adapter.
4. Run Task Scheduler using the password of the standard user.
5. Create two shortcuts in accordance with Option 2 in this tutorial:
Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials
-- at Step 3, name the shortcuts something like “EnableLAN” and “DisableLAN”
-- at Step 7, in the Program/script field, type netsh
-- at Step 8, into the Add arguments field, type
interface set interface "name of network adapter" admin=enable
(Make the last element “disable” for the second task.)
-- at Step 14, name the shortcuts something like “Turn LAN On” and “Turn LAN Off”
6. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type ncpa.cpl into Run, and click OK to open the Network Connections window. Keep this window open on your desktop to see the state of the network adapter. The color of the icon reflects the state of the adapter.
7. Click on one or the other of the two newly-created shortcuts to change the state of the network adapter. A cmd window briefly flashes on the screen. This can be eliminated using the procedure mentioned by Try3 in a previous post, if desired.

The solution for Windows 10 is much more cumbersome than the solution for Windows 7. I have to stop using Windows 7 due to the end of Microsoft support, and this is not the first time that I find Windows 10 to be less user friendly than Windows 7.

Thanks, again, to all who have kindly given me help and advice
