AskWoody PlusFebruary 17, 2020 at 1:48 pm #2142072This looks like a great tool! I have downloaded it and tried to run it on my Windows 10 Pro 1903 system. It does come up but after several seconds crashes. Is there a trick to making it run?

It wants administrator permissions to do that, even though I am the administrator. To make the “best of” I would hope that it would be easy to delete if you decide to do so.
