[Suggestion] Use Task Scheduler to bypass UAC Prompt?

Would be nice to have this, even as an advanced feature since I suppose it could be considered a security flaw.

Applications such as Borderless Gaming and CCleaner use this functionality to gain admin access without prompting the user after the initial prompt for permission to create the task.

 

Borderless Gaming's purpose is for running at startup, but CCleaner creates a task that only runs on demand, which then runs the main exe as admin with the required arguments.
A similar approach could be used here.

Sounds interesting, could you create an issue on github (https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues) or send in a feedback from inside Vortex?

 

I made an issue here: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/issues/1576

 

Also I found this node.js library that could be useful in implementing this feature, which I mentioned in a comment on the issue: https://github.com/skitsanos/schtasks
