Run as admin

Is this a thing?

I’ve read different threads saying you can press shift+enter to run as admin, or that run as admin should be in the actions menu?

Also, the actions menu doesn’t show up for all results, e.g., notepad it doesn’t.

This is frustrating.

No such problems.

  1. Notepad.exe is shown in search results.
  2. Right-click on a result shows
    many entries and also Run as administrator


Windows 11 Home Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.2605)
Listary Pro 6.3.1.85

No, this is my problem, it doesn’t show up.

The actions menu, either by right clicking or pressing ctrl-O does not work on notepad.

Is it because it’s one of those windows apps and not a standard exe?

It seems you’re correct that some applications in Windows 10 and 11 are registered as “Windows Apps” or “UWP” which can have limitations. But you can try searching for the specific ‘.exe’ file names of those applications within Listary to see if that works. Just like @horst demonstrated.
