If the built in “Run as Administrator” toggle is not working within SignalRGB, try the method below to make SignalRGB run as administrator on launch.

Right click the SignalRGB shortcut and Run as administrator or Right click %localappdata%\VortxEngine\SignalRgbLauncher.exe and Run as administrator

  • Turn off autostart in Signal (Settings → Windows Settings → Startup Behavior)
  • Then, press WIN + R and enter shell:startup in the box that opens. Press OK.
  • Create a shortcut in the folder that opens, pointing to %localappdata%\VortxEngine\SignalRgbLauncher.exe
  • Right click the new shortcut and go to the Compatibility tab. Make sure the “Run as Admin” box is checked.

Followed all these steps, but SRGB still does not start when I login. If I right-click on the icon in the start menu and “run as admin”, it works. I will create a task to run when I logon and see what happens.

That worked perfectly along with making sure it “runs with highest privileges” and run as my userid (which is an admin user). Don’t know if it also works like this for an ordinary user, because I don’t know if an ordinary user can select that checkbox .
