Powerchute application on Windows10 desktop under domain

Powerchute desktop application for Windows is very old and is becoming allmost unusable, expecially on pc in active directory domain lans.

E.g. Domain users cannot neither open the app to view content that the app itself ask for administrator privileges even to watch statistics...
This is no good.

Anyone knows when this application will be updated to work correctly on new PC/OSes?

Thanks
Regards


Massimo

it's incredible that SE has not updated the application since 2012
it's becoming really obsolete (see the problem that you have to enter administrator privileges just to watch ups statistics)

honestly, i'd prefere to install official software from S.E. than third parties applications

powerchute application is nowadays antique, dated jenuary 2012(!!), so neither updated and tested
under new operating systems like 8.1 or 10
it's incredible to believe that a company like S.E. don't update a software in about 6 years

maybe powerchute has also a lot of security issues 

this is abandoneware
Hope S.E. will update it soon or later fixing at least the bug that even for viewing statistics it need
administrator privileges

regards

massimo

Hi,

PowerChute Personal Edition has been tested and approved to run on Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 

I understand your reluctance to running third party software however my second option is included within the Windows OS so there is no download or installation needed. It just needs to be configured. You would be correct to say that the power options do not offer all of the same features as PowerChute however it does offer UPS status and graceful shutdown of the system.

Well, I tried v3.0.2 and it tells me it wants .net 2.0. That version is obsolete and has been superceded by 4.5. Is there another personal edition that's compatible with 4.5? If not, Please fix and inform when it's ready.

thanks
