CrealityScan always asking for admin credentials

Creality 3D scanner 3D Scanner

I’ve been trying to work with the CR-Scan Raptor 3D Scanner scanner combined with the Creality Scan software. the problem is that the Creality Scan software asks for admin credentials with every startup. I do not have these credentials in the office, so this is proving to be quite the hassle. Any solutions?

thanks

Hello! After CrealityScan connects to the scanner, you need to write the scanner metadata to the registry in order to use the scanner functions properly. Therefore administrator privileges are required.

I don’t have a Facebook account, and I can’t create one. What is this fix that I am not being allowed to learn about?

Sorry, but this is not how Windows reqistry is supposed to be used.
You install a Windows application when logged in with admin rights. You then have access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to configure installation.
Then when someone logs in with user rights and starts the app, then app should only read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. And data (scanner metadata) stored should be stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This way user A configuration is kept separate from user B.
The registry has been in place for over 35 years, and programmers should by now learned how to use it.
