I already found a bug. I installed it on my Windows 7 pc and opened it. It says to close it as it is in administrative mode then open in non administrator mode. It never does. Just the same screen over and over again. Where do I collect the money?

It might be detecting that your user identity is a member of the Administrators group on your computer. That is the default for Windows if you’re the owner/first-user.

It’s recommended for security reasons that you define a non-administrative user to do your web browsing and other normal activities, and only run as an administrator when you have to install a program or do system-admin tasks.

Most Windows users ignore that advice because it’s somewhat inconvenient, so security be damned, they run with administrative privilege all the time, which puts them at risk when web browsing.

That said, I haven’t installed Chromium Edge myself yet so the above is a guess at the meaning of your warning message.

Eh, unfortunately, that’s Win7’s UAC priviledged elevation for Admin accounts. Try loging in as a Regular User and see if it runs. Or make a Regular User account and do a Run As to the regular user.

Still rooting for you to get 30K though -split two ways of course.

I opened task manager and it shows about 20 msedge.exe lines and I only have 1 tab.
