UAC and component screen startup problems Movie Studio 18 Platinum

Miciek wrote on 10/29/2021, 11:49 AM

This week I installed Movie Studio 18 Platinum on a Acer laptop (i7, 16Gb, 500Gb SSD and GTX1050, Windows 11 home edition).

If I start Movie Studio I get the User Account Management screen.

Question is of it is allowed that Installationsmanager changes my device.

If I press the details button, a screen appears containing information about the Magix certificate.

The certificate is correct.

Movie Studio starts always after pressing Yes or No, I see no difference.

 

There is a 2nd strange effect.

In Movie Studio 18 Platinum we can select many components like Demo project and Fade effects.

At installation time I have select all components and they are all installed.

But after starting Movie Studio, the screen to select the component files appears always.

Because everything is already installed this is not necessary.

How is it possible to unselect this  screen.

Hi

The first part of your question may be an issue with Windows 11 security - try running the program as Administrator - if it works correctly then modify the shortcut to run the program as Administrator.

For the second part - see this comment - it applies to MMS 18 as it is based on Movie Edit pro.

Hi,

To solve the component screen problem I run the action in the Movie Edit Pro solution.

But I discovered a strange effect.

The UAC screen comes up always, probably a Windows 11 effect?

The UAC question is, allow the app to change the device or not.

If I press NO the screen for install components doesn't appear, this is correct.

But if I press YES, the component screen appears always, even it is switched off.

I don't understand it.

In the comming time I will try to find time to test it on a Windows 10 computer.
