MoveWindow in Windows 10

[fightcancer]

MoveWindow doesn't work with several windows in Windows 10. I'd never noticed it in Windows 7 or before. For example, this macro does nothing except setting focus to the TM window.

Code: Select all

SetFocus>Task Manager
MoveWindow>Task Manager,0,0

What's up with that??

Neither WIN_USEHANDLE nor WF_TYPE help. Thanks!

Well for a start Task Manager is an admin process, so that's only going to work if you run Macro Scheduler as admin. That will have also been the case with Windows 7.

I have no problem using MoveWindow under Windows 10:

This moves Notepad:
MoveWindow>Untitled - Notepad,10,10

And if I start Macro Scheduler as admin this moves Task Manager:
MoveWindow>Task Manager,10,10

But as noted this will NOT work when running Macro Scheduler as standard user because Task Manager is running in a protected admin process. If you need to interact with admin apps then Macro Scheduler also needs to be admin:

Thank you so much MT!

Is there any way to have MS always run as Admin?

Yes, set the option in the shortcut. It's a Windows thing. Same for other apps.

Thanks so much!
