Do you use some optimizer software like RivaTuner?
Also could you check this ?

@BillDenton In that case, try enabling UAC? That should fix your issue ..

@stefansjfw how do I do that?
As far as I know, nothing has changed in that area. I have been using PowerToys for quite a while without any issues.

Type UAC in windows search and open User Account Control Settings window. Move scroller to up/away from the "Never notify" (bottom option).

PowerToys has changed :) We started using WinAppSDK in the latest release. WinAppSDK version we're using has limitation if you try to run app elevated.

@stefansjfw Changed to "notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop" and rebooted. Now the settings are working.

@BillDenton Thanks for the feedback. We'll be switching to the newer version of the WinAppSDK which should support running apps elevated soon
