Please do.

OK that explains it

Bad, bad, bad...

I don't think you should encourage stupidity...

I still have a computer running Windows XP...
Some software I use can only run with it (16 bit) and there's nothing, until now, which can try to beat or mimic those "old" programs at all.

My main computer uses Windows 7 and a dual boot with Windows 10 (...parked there, until I can have a decent interface and all customized as I want. ugh! ...what a nightmare)

I tested using 4.0.0 r2746 64-bit (Jan 1 2017) on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (build 7601) Service Pack 1, and if Rainmeter runs as administrator, NowPlaying (measure or plugin) shows nothing.

Wait and hope!

Just to add to this conundrum...

I do not have problems with NowPlaying, in either mode (norm/admin) with several different skins.

Here is Soita using WinAmp (Administrator mode): Here are my Rainmeter/System specs:
4.0.0 r2746 64-bit (Jan 1 2017)
Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview 64-bit (build 14986) @ fonpaolo
Path: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\

That's it! That's exactly what I'm talking about. Mine neither work in admin mode, but it does perfectly in normal mode.
BTW, I'm using the following version of Rainmeter:

4.0.0 beta r2720 64-bit (Nov 27 2016)
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (build 14393)
Path: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\
IniFile: C:\Users\Laci\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini
SkinPath: D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\

It is WMP

I have tried with WinAmp and it works in either mode (as user and as administrator).

Interesting! So, finally it seems that not the plugin is guilty, but the player?

Well, I have Windows 10 Pro 64 bit as second boot, the problem is only related on how I can use it as I want, not as Microsoft wants.
