rootwrld Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'm trying to run a powershell script as admin, but need to bypass windows UAC. It seems ALT-Y no longer works, but i havent seen any new methods for doing this. Is it just not possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootwrld Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 ALT-TABing through all windows spamming alt-y should work but im not sure how to do this with bunnyscript. Submitted my post a little pre-maturely and cant edit, so making a reply instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuyaya Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So what exactly doesn't work anymore? The behaviour of UAC hasn't changed in Windows. Alt-y just basically selects the field which starts with a "y", in the UAC case it is "yes". But this only works if the fields says "yes", in other languages, for example german, it would be Alt-j (because of "ja"). You can do a rightarrow followed by enter, which is cross-language.

UAC seems to no longer be selected when an elevated powershell windows is launched. If you're on 21H1 give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
