By default DynamicLight now runs without administrator rights (30 FPS cap) and Launch at login uses the per-user Run key. Settings → Startup → "Run with administrator rights" (or the button under the FPS choice) registers the Task Scheduler tasks with one UAC prompt and restarts elevated; turning it off removes them. Launch at login moves between the Run key and the login task. Unavailable for standard users. The installer asks "Start DynamicLight with Windows?" once per user and writes the Run key, without UAC or tasks. Existing task setups keep working. is_elevated now uses TokenElevation instead of the deprecated IsUserAnAdmin. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
