After recently reinstalling windows, I've run into a problem when using Google Chrome. On normal startup it will open the browser as if for the first time without syncing tabs or bookmarks, but populating all extensions and logging into my main profile. However, if I run chrome as admin it populates bookmarks and runs normally.
Edit: A second symptom of this issue is that chrome doesn't save my launch page (always takes me to Google) and launches the welcome page for one of my extensions every time it's opened without admin privileges.

Step 6: Install without admin privilegesGoogle Chrome can be installed without needing IT to enter admin details.Select Yes when you are asked if you want to continue installing without administrator privileges.Ā
Seems 1Password doesn't digitally sign their install files, and such, 1password doesn't automatically update its software and I'm constantly having to run download the new install file and then install with administrator credentials to allow 1Password to update.Ā
Further, the Chrome extension seems to require needing to run Chrome as an administrator the first time for the chrome extension to work after an update.
Can you guys try to fix this? Its really annoying considering the amount of updates you release.
Thx
We do sign our files including our installer (here's Virustotal.com's report confirming the signature) and we don't require administrative rights anymore as of 1Password 6.8. 1Password 6.7 may require at the very end of the install but you can deny it and it'll still install.
You'll also want to log into your administrator account and run the uninstaller in there as well. Installing 1Password with admin rights may have added its installer/uninstaller to your admin account instead.
@rgad: Thank you for keeping us posted! Did you install 6.8.496? As Mike mentioned above, we do not require administrative rights as of 1Password 6.8, so I am not sure why they are required on your side.
@rgad: I'm a bit confused, as we haven't been releasing updates lately. But nevertheless, that's no good at all. Just to confirm, did you already uninstall 1Password completely as Mike suggested, and install it without admin rights? This is simply not how 1Password works:
So it sounds like you're installing as admin anyway, perhaps accidentally. It really appears that installing it with admin rights is the root (no pun intended) cause, as the update process does not use that if you're running it in a different account, so definitely install it without and let me know.
@rgad: If the need to install as admin is enforced by Group Policy, there may be no avoiding the need to install with admin rights. As Greg mentioned, admin rights aren't requested by 1Password as of version 6.8, so any continued request for admin permissions would likely be resulting from Group Policy. Still, your screenshot a few replies up indicates an update is available, which shouldn't be the case if you're using version 6.8 since this is the latest version. When you uninstalled 1Password initially, did you reboot before reinstalling and are you certain you downloaded and ran the installer for the latest version of 1Password? If Malwarebytes was causing trouble, the reboot in particular can be key. Those files that were locked and thus not able to be replaced may not be unlocked until you've rebooted. I'd give uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling the latest version another try to see if this fixes that update request.
@brenty We image all our machines, which includes a variety of software, we push additional items using SCCM. User laptops are locked down and so administration rights are required to install software. This may assign some data to the administrative login account depending on how your setup works. We have over 5000 machines running, and we've never run into a problem like this that requires so much hand holding to install software.
Let's get back to basics. If you've tried all of our suggestions, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work only for you. Are the permissions maybe incorrect, since you're installing as admin but the files are located in the user folder? Use cases like yours are exactly why we don't require admin rights anymore, but I'm wondering if that's just making it easier for you to get into trouble, installing as admin anyway so it can't work properly without admin rights. From your description, it really sounds like it's something to do with your process. I just haven't heard of anyone else having these issues:
1Password 6 doesn't require admin rights at all, as that was something many of our customers have requested. I was going to post a screenshot...but I realized that there's no way for me to show it not requiring admin rights.
Installing something without needing admin privileges is no more dangerous than running a no-install program with standard user permissions. This is also less dangerous than installing something WITH admin privileges (or indeed, running anything with admin permissions).
Well, if it doesn't need admin rights, that means that it can only do what a regular user can. Of course, you won't really know what the installer is doing (but do you ever really know?) but you can be assured that it won't be able to do anything that an unprivileged user can't, so I don't see the problem if you trust the source.
It should be mentioned that when logged in as a user with local admin, there are ways of circumventing UAC. For best protection, one should not have admin rights for their everyday account, and create another with admin rights. UAC will prompt for that admin credentials when system wide settings are changed or software installed, but UAC can't be circumvented entirely if UAC is enabled.
One additional threat for program installations that do not require administrator rights is that the installation can be modified by user level code. This allows for silent (no admin access required) updates, which means that the program behavior can change without warning. This also allows an adversary to insert code and tamper with the program silently (no admin access required).
The software you are installing can only run under your own user account, so it has no way of modifying or damaging the system at superuser/admin level and affecting other users or system services. In this regard it is more secure than running a software installer that requires admin rights.
What this all boils down to is that there is no inherent security risk in an installer that installs for a single user and doesn't use admin rights. What an IT department may be concerned about is simply the act of installing software without notifying them.
That said, even without admin privileges, a program you installed can possibly do nasty things to you. Another answer has mentioned some of those things. But any program can do some of those, not just an installer.
A large number of installers can simply be extracted without administrator rights using third-party tools such as universal extractor and don't actually truly require administrator rights. By giving installers access to administrator mode you give them access to every part of your computer, an installer that runs without those rights only has access to the files that don't require administrator rights.
Do keep in mind that not every installer can be extracted in this fashion and that some installers do in fact require administrator rights to install things like drivers or enter things into the registry.
If the installer does not use admin rights, the software cannot possibly be installed in the (protected) Program Files folder. By installing locally rather than globally it is possible for a malicious actor to modify the program, or install custom add-ins, from a local rather than administrator account. This could potentially lead to an escalation of privilege if someone then runs that program as an administrator.
Not asking for approval doesn't mean the installer can do anything it likes. It can only do things that don't require approval. It can't do these things without approval. The installer with admin rights can do anything on your computer and mess it up completely. The installer without admin rights can do anything in your user directory and mess it up completely - which is less than the installer with admin privileges can do.
Now damage isn't necessarily done by malice, but often by stupidity (aka bugs in the installer). With admin rights, an installer has the ability to mess up your whole computer unintentionally. Without admin rights, that risk is hugely reduced.
Google has some good news for those of you stuck using Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8. The company's Chrome Frame technology, which injects the Google Chrome rendering engine into Internet Explorer, can now be installed without needing admin privileges in Windows.
and an issue on github:

So if you need to see your google meet history as a non-admin user (without a g-suite enterprise account), this article is for you. Even without g-suite admin access, you can save and access google meet history about your past meets, including time, dates, durations and attendances for your reporting with a free chrome extension.
Unfortunately Google currently only supports meet history for admin users of enterprise (workspace for business or education) accounts. But you can still save and see your Google Meet history as a user without an enterprise admin account by using a free chrome extension like Tactiq.
I would like to use Ngrok for the access from outside. But Ngrok recommends not to use Useracc with admin rights. But I can't find a menu to set up users and the rights. I have found out where it should be, but the menu isn't shown in my latest version (yesterday) of Octopi.
Im also wondering, why I don't have to login to anything while going through Ngrok or in home network. ff782bc1db
