Problem Details:
Whenever I open my OSU.exe it asks for a administrator password, because it can change things on my computer(never happened before but since the last patch it started being weird)
I actually wanted to know what is causing it, because when I press no it will also start-up with a message a error has occurred osu is trying to keep itself running.
and it will give the same message when I type the password and say yes.
It isn't that much of a deal just annoying because it will occur every time I start OSU! up


osu! version: 20141008.17 (latest)
drum drum
That's normal, and is needed for osu!'s processes

this should only happen once. Your case is not normal. What is the command osu! is trying to run when it asks for admin elevation? You should be able to see it in the dialog.

It happens every time I start osu, but it isnt such a problem since I dont need an admin password.

I need to know the command it is running. Click the Details button and tell me the command.

it says the place where the osu.exe file is -setassociation, there isn't really another command in it in the details option except that I can see the licence and it just asks if the program can make changes to the pc I can't seem to find any other commands :(
peppy
That's enough detail. I'll look into this further.

thank you :D

Could you please try the latest cutting edge build (b20141010.1cuttingedge or higher; change your release stream in options) and see if it's any better?

i got the same problem here , hoping for a solution soon.

Please update to the latest cutting edge build, restart a few times (choosing "yes" for admin privileges) then give me the output of elevation.txt in your osu! folder.

b20141023cuttingedge or newer

did what you suggested peppy ,

output =
elevated: False ___ELEVATING___
elevated: True url handler

Will keep going like that restarted a couple of times

E:
actually wrong , the true and false seems to randomly swap heres a bit more output:

elevated: False url handler
elevated: False ___ELEVATING___
elevated: True url handler
elevated: False url handler
elevated: False ___ELEVATING___
elevated: True url handler
elevated: False url handler
elevated: False ___ELEVATING___
elevated: True url handler
elevated: False url handler
elevated: False ___ELEVATING___
elevated: True url handler

peppy
