@dustinb3403 What does this mean? If you open powershell by hitting Enter it opens faster than clicking on taskbar?
No, Scott is counting the seconds I took to move my cursor to the start menu to click on powershell as the "6 seconds it's unusable".
He isn't counting the time when the program is open and is usable.

I counted from teh time you clicked to open it, until the cursor was available. Six seconds, on teh nose.
-
@momurda Which I specifically asked him where is he counting this delay and my question was never answered.
The issue is "Scott" and not using windows. Not the performance of Windows to open powershell.
Given a more performant computer system powershell might even open more quickly, and if I optimized my actions to launching the program.

@momurda Which I specifically asked him where is he counting this delay and my question was never answered.
Yeah, I answered. From the time you click to open, till the app is working. Six seconds. The only thing any sane person would count. The screen going black is when it is usable.

So you counted the 6 seconds that I took to type in my Admin credentials to open an administrative version of powershell!
I specifically told you there are 2 videos. One with admin credentials used to launch (where there is the 6 second black screen) and the one without admin credentials!

What are you talking about" You clicked, there was nothing, then eventually it opened.

Because the recording software doesn't capture the UAC prompt. . . my god man!

Are you saying that the black screen there is something going on waiting for you that we can't see? If so, you should say that. because it looks like wea re just waiting for PS to open.

Well taht's just stupid, and if you knew that, you should have said that. It just looks like the standard six second delay.

Yes, FFS read your PM's before I sent you the videos via your email.

Read what you wrote. You never mention a black screen meaning you are doing something manual. You sent me a video of a six second start up, after I complained of a six second start up, and expect me to think it's something I can't see?

Well taht's just stupid, and if you knew that, you should have said that. It just looks like the standard six second delay.
And this is specifically why I made TWO videos!
One with admin creds, which I specifically told is an elevated powershell window (elevated should be the hint that credentials are being passed). And the normal powershell window.

Make all the videos you want, if you make one that shows exactly what I'm seeing and don't explain that it's not what it looks like, what do you expect exactly?

So you chose to watch one video, refused to look at our conversation, and then said "AHH PROOF" ignoring everything else that I sent you along the way!

What was the PURPOSE of the video if you actually knew it would take six seconds, and wouldn't show anything but it taking six seconds? I was crazy for thinking you had a purpose to sending the video.

@scottalanmiller Scott here are some facts.
-
Windows has UAC prompts (these are for elevation tasks, such as installing software on domain joined computers, running elevated powershell and command prompts etc)
-
The Windows UAC prompt is run from the Windows Secure Desktop environment and cannot be recorded without the use of an external from the computer device IE. A cell phone etc
-
On windows, just like on Linux you can elevate different processes. On Windows though you need to have a user who is a part of the local administrators security group (or domain admin).
- If this user is a part of the local admin group (wheel) then you can simply right click, run as admin, and then click Yes to proceed.
If your inexperience with Windows is the issue, no one here can make you understand. Simply put, you're making a big deal over the things you've never experienced.
Which IMO makes you the inexperienced person when it comes to using Windows in any sense of the word.
-
-
@scottalanmiller we went back and forth discussing this for way longer than necessary to try to impart to you that UAC prompts aren't recordable.
That the issue you are perceiving is purely because of my need to type in credentials to elevate.
I've even made this complaint myself, Microsoft should allow elevation from within a non-elevated shell. It doesn't exist.
The issue is your misunderstanding.

I'm unclear. None of this answers "why did you make a blank video that took six seconds to show me that something doesn't take six seconds?" that's the entire confusion. Any talk of UAC means you don't understand where I'm lost. I'm lost 100% about why a video that shows nothing useful was made to explain something. What may or may not take time off camera isn't relevant. Why do you keep talking about UAC as if that explains why you made a blank video?
