Hi,
Then something doesn't make sense. I am a standard user and have a schedule set within PatchMyPC to run everyday at 9am. The task is enabled, "Task Visibility" is Silent and "Run Whether or Not Logged In" is true. As the log below shows, updates are being installed but I never see a UAC dialogue so PatchMyPC MUST be running with administrator privileges. My question I think therefore is how is the schedule implemented as I cannot see anything in Task Scheduler in Windows and if it is doing it itself, how does it gain administrator rights?
Here is a log entry from yesterday morning showing updates installing without issue.
