Win10 and User Account Control

[ruddy122]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm trying to figure out if Win10 is not letting me get acess to DCS 1.5 resulting in some of my game crashes.

 

I installed the Open Beta outside the Program Files to the C:\ Drive

 

Do I also need to enable Run as an Administrator in the exe files.

 

I just want to make sure that Win10 is not trying to block me from executing the program

 

Cheers

Can't hurt to run it as Admin.

 

To turn off UAC in Windows 10

Start Regedit,

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Find EnableLUA (DWORD) value and set it to 0

Reboot.

Kayos,

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

I went a little overkill because I wanted to keep UAC on for the other apps I use for work

 

So I did the following.

 

1) Installed the Open Beta in the C:\ Drive not in C:\Program Files ( I know from my FS9 and FSX days that Windows loves restricting access in that folder group)

 

2) Changed the Folder Security Permisions in my DCS World Open Beta for the users to Full Control like the Admin

 

3) I made sure that every .exe had the option to Run as Administrator--DELETE (Don't do this only select Run As Administrator to the Updater.exe and the DCS.exe files)

 

I know its a little overkill, but I have noticed with the latest Win10 updates, it looks like Microsoft is clamping down on Read/Write Access with User Account Control on and I think some of my Open Beta Bugs maybe because Win 10 does not give full read write access.

 

I'll keep tinkering but hope this advice helps

 

Cheers,
