Hi @GGZII,

I have merged your topic with the main thread about the administrator privileges. 

When you try to start the CnC Remaster, what exactly happens? Do you get to see the pop-up where you can press OK to give permission to the app to make changes? Did you press OK or Cancel?

I'm on Windows 11 now, I didn't test the new version.

For me on W10 I had a prompt for admin. Later the prompt didn't work, so no game. After that the prompt worked again.

Now on W11.

Age of Empire had the same behavior (admin) on GamePass. It was fixed and it is not required anymore.
