I've never had to run as admin or approve an elevation prompt to use Delphi, including with version 12. Same for me. I don't have the registry entry in the AppCompatFlags\Layers. Delphi 12 works just as should be with a normal level user without beeing elevated. Share this post Link to post
Tom F 85 Posted May 22 @Brandon Staggs and @Lajos Juhász I agree: none of this should have been necessary. I've been using Delphi since Delphi 1 and it's only been in the past year that this problem appeared. I don't know of anything specifically on my machine that might have caused this. I didn't have the AppCompatFlags/Layers registry entry. I'm running a "stock" Win10 machine with main stream security software. I suppose it's likely I did something to cause this problem. But, that it happened on a clean install of D12 surprised me. It's hard to imagine how the problem came to be. But, I'm glad it's behind me. 🙂 Share this post Link to post

I have lost count of how many sudden problems were the result of mainstream security software screwing things up. Not saying that is the problem here, but the lengths you went to to make your Delphi IDE start up are extreme and would not happen "naturally" with Windows and the Delphi installer. 2 Share this post Link to post
Gex99 1 Posted November 11 Thanx TOM F, your fix to run as invoker worked for me beautifully. 1 Share this post Link to post
Tom F 85 Posted November 11 @Gex99 It's always nice to know that someone benefited from the work I put it in to solve a problem. It was a tricky problem that, as you saw from my posts, took a while to solve. The solution I eventually found was easy to implement. I'm glad it worked for you too. Thanks for saying something. 2 Share this post Link to post

It could be an indication of some corruption in your installation, or some other software that is causing the trouble. If things are working then no need to mess with it, but I would recommend using this as motivation to make sure you have a good backups of your data, so you will be ready if you need to create a fresh Windows install sometime soon. 2 Share this post Link to post
