[Environments reliability] Hyper-V Operations: Can't add standard user account to Hyper-V Administrator group if elevating using a separate administrator account #3112
Description
Dev Home version
0.1401.505.0
Windows build number
10.0.22635.0
Other software
No response
Steps to reproduce the bug
- On my computer I have one standard user account and one administrator user account.
- When I run Dev Home as standard user and try to create an environment I get the message "The current user is not in the Hyper-V administrators group."
- I click the "Add user to group"-button, get a UAC prompt asking for an administrator account, I authenticate with my administrator account, the error message about "The current user is not in the Hyper-V administrators group." disappears.
Expected result
My user is added to Hyper-V administrators group and I am able to create an environment.
Actual result
When I once again try to create an environment I get the same message "The current user is not in the Hyper-V administrators group.".
When I start lusrmgr.msc and look in the Hyper-V Administrators group only my administrator account is added to it, probably because the PowerShell script adds my administrator account instead of my user account to Hyper-V Administrator group.
