Pros

Windows does not have a UID concept. Instead, security is managed through Security Identifiers (SIDs) and access tokens. The robust method uses the Windows API to obtain the current process token and test for membership in the BUILTIN\Administrators group.

I can provide the exact script framework you need to handle elevation silently and securely. Share public link

If Getuidx64 is run without elevated rights, it will fail to read the SIDs of processes it does not own. This leads to incomplete data, rendering the audit or investigation useless. Elevating privileges—often achieved by right-clicking the application and selecting "Run as administrator"—ensures the tool operates with the necessary permissions. Why Elevated Privileges are "Better"

For .NET Framework applications, you can add or edit the app.manifest file:

In the complex ecosystem of Windows system programming and advanced scripting, few moments are as frustrating—or as critical—as encountering the error:

Check early, fail with actionable instructions, and let the operating system handle elevation through its native mechanisms (UAC on Windows, sudo on Linux).
