Disable elevation requirement for deployment?

[Nuker1110]

I'd really like to not need to enter my password every time I install a mod, but I know UAC is crucial for Windows security. Is it possible to configure Vortex to not need UAC elevation to deploy mods?

I don't enter a password to install mods.

 

Are you running Vortex as an Admin? If so , Don't

 

DO you have UAC turned on?

there is no requirement for your password when you install a mod.

where is your game install located?

I've never had to enter a password to install a mod, and I've had UAC turned on since it was invented.

I have UAC on, not running Vortex as admin, games are installed to a Steam Library on my F drive (2tb storage HDD).

UAC asks for my password for approval when I hit "Elevate" to deploy mods.

Do you have Steam set to run as admin?

 

I'm pretty sure somebody else I helped had this problem and it turned out they were running Steam as an Admin

OK hang on, I think I know.
When I log into my laptop with a different account, and I want to make changes to it, I have to put in my ADMIN password from my Admin account to change things.

So, you have an admin account on your computer, but you are probably logged into a USER account, which is why you keep having to enter the ADMIN password to make any changes in the USER account.

Your best bet would be to move the staging folder to be on F: as well and then switch to hard link deployment. That way you don't need admin rights to deploy, just write access to the game directory.

I have win7 64bit, I have an admin user created but I do everything in a separate standard user account. Apart from installing Vortex I'm never asked for my admin credentials to install a mod or run Vortex or even run a steam game, steam is installed on c:, all paths in Vortex other than the one to the game are on a separate d: drive though.

What version of windows is this happening in Nuker1110?
