Description
-
I am on the latest Hyper.app version
-
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
-
OS version and name: Windows 10 Enterprise (x64)
-
Hyper.app version: 3.0.2
Issue
On Windows with enforced User Account Control (as is often applied by bigger companies), regular users cannot run .exe or other executable files. There is apparently no way to install as administrator (see screenshot below)
