I must right-click on Git GUI and select "More >> Run as administrator" in the start menu. Even though I have "run as administrator" checked on both shortcut and the program (or any combo of). You definitely shouldn't need to run it as an administrator at all. I have the same version installed: $ git version git version 2.16.2.windows.1 Running Git GUI from the Start menu, it starts without a UAC prompt (which means it's not running as Administrator) and runs without issue. Starting it from a non-escalated command prompt via "git gui" also does not have a UAC prompt and runs without issue. Seems like there must be something more going on. What options did you select during installation? What installer did you use? Bryan
