Re: Rm doesnt start in win 10
There is no reason why you should have to set Rainmeter to "Run as administrator" for it to work ok.
I would follow this guide,
https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/clean-rainmeter-uninstall/
And ensure that during the installation, "Run Rainmeter on startup" is checked.

Re: Rm doesnt start in win 10
Hi, I have the same problem. rm doesn't start at WIN10 startup. I have start rm manually, and I've been asked for the admin-password. How can I prevent this. I uninstalled rm and installed v4.3 from a fresh download.

Re: Rm doesnt start in win 10
No idea really. Perhaps you are in a shared computer environment (company or school) where there is some "group policy" that isn't allowing it, or the account you are logging into Windows with doesn't have full Administrator rights. One these is almost certain to be true if when you launch Rainmeter manually, you are getting a UAC prompt and it is asking you for an administrator password. Rainmeter requires that YOU be an administrator on your system, but doesn't in and of itself require administrator privileges.

I am administrator and it is my home computer.
i get no prompt for any password when starting rm manually.
i only login with my pin code at first login as normal.

And you are quite sure that you have a shortcut for Rainmeter in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Which will look like this:

Do you get a prompt for admin password? (See the post above)
Are you are quite sure that you have a shortcut for Rainmeter in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Do you see a Raindrop Icon in the notification area of the taskbar?
