Hi.

I'm new to UMS.
I just installed the windows binary on windows 10. I wondered why nothng happend when I left "Run on installation finsih" checked and closed the finished installer window. Then I tried to run UMS.exe but nothing happens as well. It turned out that I needed to run it as Administrator. But there is no error message telling me that. I think a lot of users will give up on that.
Could you make UMS not to require such previleges please?

This is likely to be your security settings on your system.
When installing on mine I have to elevate admin using the UAC to install it but it never need to run as admin afterwards.

Do you have to run UMS manually with admin every time you reboot?
