Hi.
I use the following to elevate the rights of a c++ windows application:
LogonUser()
LoadUserProfile()
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser()
The functions do their work and there is no error. But as soon as I want to interact with my application again (clicking on a menu like "File" "Edit", and even right clicking on the desktop) the application freezes. The only option is to kill the application and try again.
One strange thing that I observed is, that it works under this conditions:
- I log out from windows,
- then log in to windows again using the user which I want to use in the LogonUser() function above,
- then log out of windows
- and log into windows with my own user again,
- and run the code above,
Then the application does not freeze. So perhaps it is an issue with roaming user profiles. Any hints?
