Solved Change administrator account permissions

Ah!!!
You could have pasted shell:appsfolder into a Run box and created a shortcut from there.

Indeed. And if the executable is not in that list, then getting its path via Task Manager, as noted, is a good solution.

If only @BEH had stated the end goal up front, we could have provided the correct help right away.

Create Desktop Shortcut of Microsoft Store Apps - ElevenForumTutorials


All the best,

---

Welcome to ElevenForum.

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of ElevenForum webpages does automatically]

For MSOffice problems search in and, if necessary, create threads in the TenForums MSOffice section [ElevenForum does not have one].

Option One from the tutorial link Denis gave in action....

Do NOT mess with the permissions! Access WindowsApps as TrustedInstaller using PowerRun:

PowerRun v1.7 (Run with highest privileges)

PowerRun is a tool to launch any program/script files with the same privileges as the TrustedInstaller /SYSTEM. it is a Portable and free

I think Microsoft flags PowerRun as a virus. I can understand why . But are we confident it is safe, is it open source?

PowerRun, AdvancedRun, and my Right-Click Tools are all fine. They do not cause any detection with Defender.

Perhaps you're thinking of NSudo. Defender falsely detects this version of NSudo as a virus.

PowerRun and AdvancedRun are closed source, but I trust both.

Right-Click Tools is open source.

Cool. So with Right Click Tools you could run cmd as TrustedInstaller and then launch explorer from cmd line and have access to trusted installer folders?

That doesn't work with Explorer, but it works great with many third-party file managers, such as Explorer++.

I'm satisfied with the responses to my Q. Many thanks to all who took the time to respond !!!!

Good but can I check one point.

BEH said:

net user to display all users and I'm listed as an adminstrator

It's
net user Brian
that would identify you as an Admin not just
net user
on its own since that merely provides a jumbled list of all accounts.
