### IMPORTANT: Note about Administrator Rights
10+
11+
ClickFix doesn't normally require Administrator rights, but in a recent update of windows (circa December 2022) an issue arose where if ClickFix is not running with elevated permissions, and you click into a window that _is_ running in elevated permissions, then you won't be about to click away from it (you need to close the window, use Alt + Tab, or press Windows + E to change your focus to a new window).
12+
13+
**The solution:** Run ClickFix as Administrator (right click and "Run as administrator", or modify the shortcut to always use admin) and you won't find any problems with clicking into and out-of windows, regardless of their permission level.

## 1: Download<br>

To get going, simply download the [latest executable](https://github.com/cemrajc/clickfix/releases/latest), **put it in its own folder** and run it. Because ClickFix is completely portable, it runs without installation - you could even run it off a thumb-drive. Keep in mind that it will create a settings file in the folder you put it in.
