[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1016827"] 1. That is why people should not install an unzipper which extracts executables with MOTW, use Windows default instead. 3. Running SUA is security border, using UAC on Admin is not a security border. Agree Microsoft has an ambiguous approach towards implementing security and facilitating workarounds for hard core admin users. The Android, Apple and Linux based OS-es show how easy it can be when the OS enforces secure usage and rights separation. I don't install software as a hobby and run SUA without problems since 2019. All Microsoft software updates without needing elevation. But there are sadly enough developers which create software making it a hassle to run SUA. My wife uses off-line photobook software (because it has more editing options than the on-line version). That application installs in user folders and creates a profile for the current user (and refuses to update with '"run as admin" because another profile is active). That application only updates once or twice a year and refuses to run in SUA after it has found an update. My wife only uses it once or twice a year, but nearly every time she wants to create a new photo book, it refuses to run. Then I need to give her SUA user Admin priviledges, update the !@#$ photobook application and set het user back to SUA again. I understand that people might be temped to run Admin, but this hassle only occurs once or twice a year.I know PSIEXEC has an option to run as admin with another profile, but I am to lazy to figure that out. I really like your videos, they show that no matter how many layers security enthousiasts install on Admin, there are always workarounds possible given the holes (in default) Microsoft (Defender) protection and the bugs every software has (of which some can be misused in a predictable manner). They are a motivation to run SUA (and default deny), thanks (y) [/QUOTE]
