@unclewebb What was the last version of ThrottleStop to have this feature ???ThrottleStop runs with Administrator privileges. Allowing ThrottleStop to start other programs results in other programs also getting to run with Administrator privileges. This was a useful feature but it was also a possible security risk. I removed this feature for this reason and there is presently no way to re-enable it. No plans at the moment to bring this feature back.
The ReadMe file for ThrottleStop 9.5 says,What was the last version of ThrottleStop to have this feature ???
- disabled Run Program After Profile Change feature for improved security.
@unclewebb I had no idea ThrottleStop could start programs with "Administrator privileges". That would actually make this feature *a lot more* usefull to use.The ReadMe file for ThrottleStop 9.5 says,
My best guess would be sometime between 9.4 and 9.5. No access to my programming computer at the moment. There might be some beta versions between those two versions that still had this feature.
I might restore this feature in the future if enough people want it back. So far I can only remember 2 people having mentioned anything about it missing.
Maybe I could add a Danger=1 INI option for those that want this useful feature restored.
Missing this feature very very much. For example I want to stop/start my sync software (Syncthing) on power events to save power in battery mode. And maybe some other software. Very nice feature. I even thought to write simple daemon that handles power event and do this, but if I have throttlestop process running already, better it could be done there..ThrottleStop runs with Administrator privileges.
