Is there possibly no official documentation for Windows 11 search?
I have looked far and wide to find a definitive, official technical reference for the Windows 11 search service... especially for the various search parameters and the syntax they require from a savvy user to conduct a well specified, precision search for something. Is it possible that Microsoft has not produced a formal specification of Windows' search feature? Would someone from Microsoft please, please, please provide a link to such a document? Is it possible to buy it? Does it exist anywhere? Am I deluded to think that that is something that the provider of the world's most used desktop OS would have had to create, as a matter of course? I'm talking here about conducting searches, within the file system of a Windows 11 (Pro) machine, that one initiates from the "Search Home" box at the top right of every File Explorer window that gets opened by the user. Any thoughts from someone actually involved in creating the search tool? Imploringly yours, SJB
Run As Administrator not always working?
I have dealt with this for about 10 years now since Server 2003/Windows XP. Just now getting around to addressing this. If this isn't the right place, I'd appreciate a link to the right place. Have a Server 2019 domain with 13 workstations all running Windows 11 Pro. Workstation user only have user access rights. On occasion I'll need to run something, such as services.msc for example with admin rights. On some workstations I can right-click services, select Run As Administrator, enter the domain admin credentials and can then stop/start/change services as needed. Yet on other workstations the Run As Administrator doesn't work. It runs services.msc. But I'm not prompted for admin credentials and can't start/stop/change the service. What can I do to make it work so I don't have to waste time logging of the normal user to log in with a domain admin account? Note that I do have and use group policies on the server. I've never "knowingly" set any policy that would prevent the Run As Administrator for working. I also have WSUS set up and it's configured with SSL if that matters. Thanks for any feedback on this. - Carl
Windows Security Real Time Protection can't be enabled
I am currently running Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview 23H2. I tried enabling real time protection in registry by settling real time protection key to 0, I tried to set not configured for real time protection in Local Policy Group, I have alo tried enabling it using Command prompt. However, none of the steps worked. Real time protection is still off and cannot be enabled. It just keeps on toggling off even when manually toggling it to on. I do hope that next Windows Updte would have a fix to this issue.
