Exactly
I have tried both on win 11 and win 7 it is not working.
I've checked github and some people make it on non-admin windows sessions

[sendersu]

anyone tried to build TaskExplorer from sources?
seems mission impossible & total mess in the repo...
missed code
missed types...
WTF

[blue_devil]

Maybe we should ask those questions by creating a new issue on the repo.

You only need VS 2022 latest Qt5 and you can build it, though there is a certain order to it
first /ProcessHacker/tools/thirdparty/thirdparty.sln
then /ProcessHacker/SystemInformer.sln
and finally /TaskExplorer+Libs.sln
