#RequireAdmin is exactly what I was missing, thanks!

For example, this won't work if the elevated Powershell window is minimized: WinActivate('Administrator: Windows PowerShell') But on an standard unelevated window, this works fine: WinActivate('Windows PowerShell')

Thanks, that works great. Wondering though, when would SessionName ever not be at key 1? It'd be nice if I could just use this: RegRead('HKCU\Volatile Environment\1', 'SessionName') Also, is this System Session vs User Session situation with EnvGet a bug?

Still struggling with this one, if anyone can help. Quick recap: Works fine if I Win+R > C:\Path\To\Script.au3, but fails if I double-click from Explorer (both 32 and 64 bit). MsgBox('','',EnvGet('sessionname'))

It's actually working if I launch the script from Cmd or the Run window, but if I launch with a double-click from Explorer, EnvGet("SESSIONNAME") is empty. Similar situation here; if I launch SciTE from the Explorer context menu and F5 to run your script, no SESSIONNAME in the console, but if I launch SciTE from the start menu and run it, it's there.

...

Yes, that's working.

In CMD, echo %SESSIONNAME% works fine, but AutoIt's EnvGet("SESSIONNAME") produces nothing. Anyone know how to get this working?

Sorry, I removed that line. Guess it served a purpose in the original example script. Good to know about that WoW64 redirection stuff. Pretty esoteric stuff. Thanks!

No. That's just the example taken from: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/FileExists.htm I'm actually trying to launch the exe from a script using: ShellExecute('tscon', '1 /dest:console', '', 'runas') After hours of trying and failing to get it working, I finally found this issue. Now that I know, I'll just make sure to run x64, but thought I should bring this to people's attention. It's a weird one.

The 64 bit version is able to access C:\Windows\System32\tscon.exe just fine, but 32 bit can't find it. #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Create a constant variable in Local scope of the filepath that will be read/written to. Local Const $sFilePath = "C:\Windows\System32\tscon.exe" Local $iFileExists = FileExists($sFilePath) ; Display a message of whether the file exists or not. If $iFileExists Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file exists." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists) Else MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file doesn't exist." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists) EndIf EndFunc ;==>Example

Yeah, no luck.

Just tried it, and no, it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Scripts run fine in a Remote Desktop session, until the RDP client window is minimized, which seems to pause the script. I tried fixing it with this, to no avail. Anyone know how to get this working?

Thanks, guys. I've found a solution... Instead of: GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 25, 130, 150, 50, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON) I have to use: GUICtrlCreateButton('Cancel', 25, 130, 150, 50) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS)
