Description

Hello all,

How do I elevate my permission on Windows 11 with Micro Editor?
Currently I added the run-as-admin checkmark in compatiblity-mode, but I do not want admin permissions on every editor process.

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the elevation failure on Windows 11 without enabling compatibility-mode administrator privileges for every process, then identify the relevant elevation path and document the expected behavior. Done means a user can elevate only when needed and the behavior is covered by an appropriate verification step.
