Cannot run anything as administrator
Well, I was perplexed by this problem, but I have discovered that the latest release of Windows 11 (22H2) seems to have a problem not just with "Run As Administrator" but most things on context menus (menus which appear when you click the right-,mouse-button). I tried your "fix" with NCH applications running (uninstalled them) but that did not help.
What eventually fixed the problem of not just "Administrator" but also all other problems with the context menus was following instructions in this excellent article:
https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-11-classic-context-menus
It involves editing a key in the registry (so be careful).
Everything works fine now!
Hopefully, Microsoft will issue an update to remove the need for returning to the old style
(full as opposed to compacted) context menus. Personally I prefer the full menu anyway!
Bro I asked multiple AI's and looked around for ages to fix this, almost till a point of giving up and reinstalling my pc which would have been a nightmare. I once installed this NCH software 2years ago on this pc and boooy I would never have found this issue without you! Thank you sooo much!!
