Admin-mode button is grayed out in Windows 11 Pro

Anyone else encountering a grayed-out Admin-mode button in Windows 11 Pro? My Windows user account is definitely an admin account.

Thanks in advance, fellow dopusonians!

It looks like Opus is already running elevated, or UAC isn't enabled on the machine, or the account is an admin account of a kind that isn't subject to UAC.

Does the window title say ADMINISTRATOR in all capital letters? Can't see it in the cropped screenshot.

Hi Leo,

Yes, it does say ADMINISTRATOR. UAC is set to Never on its notification preferences, but I've used that setting on every machine since the feature emerged. I'm happy to learn it's because I'm already elevated but I'm still scratching my head as to why this is the first time I've seen this after running dopus for so many years on so many Windows instances I thought were identically configured. Big thanks for the response.

I think "Never" may disable UAC these days, although it has changed in Windows at least once.

Big thanks, Leo. Hey, know of any coupon codes floating around? I need to buy a 5-pack. :slight_smile:
