You know...I don't know for sure. But I have never yet in all my installs of P3DV2,3 and 4 and there have been plenty, the client just did its thing right after I uninstalled the previous client. And checking my antivirus for program control P3D is set for "always" in terms of open communication with the net. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

For crying out loud, how is it that this late in the game, a sim, new install doesn't work and after trying to fix it like some have had success doing...its still broken.. I hate it, hate it, hate it... I see where you went wrong. P3D can sense hate and WILL strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
June 4, 20197 yr I just went trough the process of going to 4.5. Restarted the computer three times and got three different issues. Did a fourth restart and every thing is fine. offensive initials not allowed became the buzz phrase of the day. I 've quit wondering why.😕 Bill W.

Actually, you aren't the "real Administrator", or more accurately you don't have full administrative powers. There is a special, hidden function in all Win 7, 8 and 10 known as the "Super Administrator" which allows absolutely FULL control of everything. It is similar to the "root level admin" of the Unix platform. The reason it is not easily accessible is simply because it is dangerous for the casual user...

See this article for details: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/ Let's say we have FSX and other flightsims which were already installed without super admin privileges. Then in that case, is there any advantage now to create a super administer account to use when running these installations which were created by our other account(s) which did not have these privileges? Or would we have to reinstall everything while using a super administrator account? 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
