VS Code keeps updating. I think it might be my workstations configuration. I have two accounts assigned to me on the domain for security. One for regular usage and a second with elevated privilege's. I login with the regular and have VS Code configured to always start as Administrator which prompts me for my second elevated user credentials.
Can this be causing the issue and what can I do to help VS Code with the update process?
The key seems to be the shortcut to open VS Code. The properties for the shortcut showed it was opening and running in my regular login account profile directory. When I switched the shortcut to my elevated profile account the updates stopped happening every time I opened VS Code.

I was running a python program to fetch data from Azure Data Explorer, process it and write. The way I authenticate is:
import os
os.system("az login")
#browser pops up, I click on the relevant microsoft account and login.
I can now go back to my IDE and continue with my program. After finishing coding my programs, I restarted the kernel and ran it again for testing. This time, on the browser, I accidently clicked on the wrong micrsoft azure account and the login succeeded (because it was a valid login), but I knew it was wrong so I immediately restarted my kernel again. But ever since then I've been stuck at an error when I actually run a query:
'Caller is not authorized to perform this action', '#type': 'Kusto.DataNode.Exceptions.UnauthorizedDatabaseAccessException',
I tried cleaning the cache with az
az cache purge
#no output on console
I tried going to a different browser, closing everything and restarting. I also tried to find kusto or azure-data-explorer folders under AppData in the windows system and manually deleting the cache, but didn't find any such folders. Note: I haven't restarted the system yet, it's an ec2 instance and I have a lot of work open.
I am able to run the same program normally on a different windows machine succesfully. How can I fix this in an easy way in the future? I normally don't use windows or Azure for development work.
The az logoutcommand should do the work and let you logout from the current active accounts.
But as your tests this don't work for you so a second alternative is to use az logout with all specific accounts az logout --username -Doc
When working on a project that uses IIS (not IIS Express) for local development, what permissions are actually required under window 8? I don't want to run as admin all the time...the first error message I get when running using the Local User Account (LUA) was about Metabase (probably a misnomer, as changing the permissions on that gave the same error message until the config files in inetsrv/config were also available). Now it builds, but then gives an error message "Unable to start debugging on web server. IIS does not list a web site that matches the launched URL".
The blog https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jaredpar/2005/02/04/myth-creating-web-applications-with-visual-studio-requires-admin-privileges/ while old, at least hints that it should be possible to manually give myself (or a group that I create) the right permissions. Just need to figure out what those permissions are...
To run VS against IIS you need to run VS elevated (the process needs admin permissions).
From a non-admin account you could run VS "As Administrator", you will also need to do this with the tools necessary to configure IIS.
However I've never tried that, rather I run with a non-elevated admin account so any file changes from within an elevated VS are fully accessible to non-elevated processes.
Additional: note, VS really only needs the Debug Any Process privilege, but giving that one privilege gives the ability to gain all others (with some effort) going through the work to limit the VS process to just that one difference seems pointless.
I am trying to update my App from the sysMenu.
And by doing click on Update App.. in the SysMenu, Updates automatically started.
Its working fine with XP and Win 7,
But when I trying to do the same thing in Win 8 then Its not working.
It gives alert message that "You do not have sufficient rights to run this App".
even if I am logged with Administrator user.
Hint: If I manually run that Updates.exe with run as Administrator then its also working.
I have attached the screen shot. I don't know why this happen with Win 8 only.
Edit
I have also refer these articles.

I am definitely sure that there is something wrong with your manifest file. Please embed the manifest with
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false">
with your Updates.exe.
Though even you have tried it, please try it one more time.
The error dialog seen in snapshot is look like its from your app. So there may be some check in your app, which is showing this dialog.
You didn't mention if this is your app or not. I assume it's your app, which you have build using the given manifest setting.
You can use Process Explorer to check if it is running with Elevated user permissions or not (check when this dialog comes up). It may be some build issue, you are setting this UAC setting for different project/build, and attempting to run different executable.
Other thing might be with specific user rights in Local Security Policy (I don't know which policy may allow/prevent updates). Or may be with the thread security rights, which is attempting to launch updates.
Folks,
I've got a strange issue at the moment with a visual studio 2010 built MSI...
When I run the msi, it performs a few tasks, then executes a tool we built - this tool then carries out some more advanced work we couldn't do within a custom task.
The issue here, is then when the msi starts my custom built tool, it doesn't execute it with the same credentials as I start the MSI with (i.e. my administrative login).
Is there a parameter I can pass to an MSI to enforece this? Or perhaps I can pass the credentials to the process when I start it?
My process is started using Process process = Process.Start(procInfo) nothing fancy. I've also noted the ability to pass in a parameterised username/password/domain, but this will vary depending on the user who is installing - can this be extracted from the installer somehow?
Any help (or questions) welcomed.
Dave
EDIT: for clarity... I'm running the MSI under my domain account, and I want my custom process to run under that 'context'. At present, it starts (regardless of whether I start as administrator or not) under the SYSTEM account (rather than mydomain\me). I'm using Windows Server DataCenter edition if that helps...
I should also add, I think this is a policy issue, but I've no idea what to check/where to check...
By default Windows Installer runs custom actions as the current user. If the MSI is elevated, custom actions will run as the elevated user.
Please note that if you are running the MSI as an Administrator, it doesn't mean your custom actions will have full Administrator privileges. On Vista or higher any user can gain Administrator privileges through elevation.
So if your custom actions need Administrator privileges, make sure they use the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate flag so they run under the local system account.
If this is not the problem and you just need access to the current user data, can you please give me more details?
I am using WSPBuilder to develop Sharepoint2007 sites, whenever i try to debug using one of the users that are not System Account, the debugger enters to the breakpoint and waits a step (F10), when i press F10, i get the following exception in the debug output window after pressing F10 on the line having the breakpoint:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Threading.ThreadAbortException'
occurred in XXX.dll
An exception of type 'System.Threading.ThreadAbortException'occurred in XXX.dll
but was not handled in user code The thread '<No Name>' (0xfc4) has exited with
code 0 (0x0).
and i am redirected to a page of sharepoint saying:
Go back to site
Error: Access Denied

Sign in as a different user
When i try to RUN not to DEBUG with the same user, I don't have this problem.
Also when i try to debug using the System Account (MOSS ADMIN), I don't have this problem ?
How to overcome this problem ?
BTW, i am trying to debug a custom ASPX/CS page installed as a feature on the site.
FYI, it's only for this project not for all projects i have, also it's for all pages in this project not only one page.
For those who are interested, I found the solution:
I created a new project and copied my files to it (of course with recreating features), now it works fine. That means that the project itself is the problem not the IDE, perhaps some of its file are corrupted !
You might want to try and add the user SharePoint\zzz to the WSS_WPG and WSS_Admin groups to see if that gets you around the issue. I assume you are doing the debugging on a single, stand alone install so you could also try and make SharePoint\zzz and administrator.
