Re: Set laptop brightness & show Win 10's native OSD
Hello, I am newbie here, but I have been using AutoHotkey since some years ago. I was looking for a way to control my laptop's brightness, and your script seems to be the solution. I am getting an error (Call to nonexistent function), and I have read that powrprof.dll is not loaded, but I don't kno...

Re: Get StdOut From Process Thread
Do you mean this MinHook ? I've never heard of it before, but that's absolutely worth my time to look into. Is there an AHK library available? I didn't see any come up with my search. That's the one. The CodeProject page by the author describes it well. A pure AHK hooking library can be found here ...

Re: Get StdOut From Process Thread
I think the problem is that KFServer.exe allocates a new console and then uses WriteConsole to write directly to it, bypassing any stdout redirection. It seems the usual way to get the output in such a case appears to be "screenscraping" the console buffer (I think), see: Why can't I redirect output...

Re: How to check if active window runs as admin? Topic is solved
You could try https://github.com/jNizM/AHK_Scripts/blob/master/src/process_thread_handle_module/IsProcessElevated.ahk, just with "OpenProcess", "uint", 0x0400 changed to "OpenProcess", "uint", 0x1000 . Use WinGet , PID, PID, A to get the PID of the active window, which you can then pass to IsProcess...

Re: Run application elevated Topic is solved
My bad. The first should actually be Run, %A_WinDir%\SysNative\wbem\wbemtest.exe With the second, that's just a typo on my part, try oldRedirectionValue := 0 (I'm still of the opinion that running wbemtest and automating it by keystrokes is weird when you can query WMI with AHK. Admittedly, I don't ...

This works here (Windows 10 1703 / WMP 12 / AutoHotkey x64 1.1.26.01), but given the complexity of performing such a simple task and my inexperience, I can't say it'll work for you. #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. #SingleInstance Off Process, E...

Re: Display a grayed or ghosted icon for hidden files or folders in a menu Topic is solved
Hi iPhilip,
That is indeed far simpler and nicer looking! The only thing I can suggest is that hbmMask must also be destroyed if it exists following a successful GetIconInfo call.
Best regards
EDIT: Happy holidays to you too!

Re: How do AHK's A_ScreenWidth/Height work?
Windows 8+ is known to lie about certain things when things are missing from the manifest for compatibility reaons. AutoHotkey's manifest sets <dpiAware>true</dpiAware>. I can't test anything, but I think that might help.

Use Lexikos' ShellRun to have Explorer (which should be running unelevated, if not Google WdcRunTaskAsInteractiveUser for an undocumented alternative) start the program instead.
