Truly an amazing program, thank you. There may not be anything that can be done about this. Windows Store game exes are stored in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder which even the administrator can't look at the files. Procswap says it can't "walk" the directory, even when run as administrator. The workaround is I made a folder to scan which has zero-byte files with game exe names in them that I created. At the very least I'm curious if there's better way of doing it.

It seems to be working fine for me in an Administrator Command Prompt.

First, is this the error you're seeing? I ran this in a normal command prompt:

C:\Mining\procswap>procswap.exe -p "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" -s C:\Mining\xmrig-6.12.2\start.cmd

2022/02/06 - 06:37:00 | INFO  | setup searching C:\Program Files\WindowsApps for executables
2022/02/06 - 06:37:00 | ERROR | setup error searching C:\Program Files\WindowsApps for executables: error walking C:\Program Files\WindowsApps searching for .exes: open C:\Program Files\WindowsApps: Access is denied.

In an admin command prompt it seemed to scan just fine though.

C:\Mining\procswap>procswap.exe -p "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" -s C:\Mining\xmrig-6.12.2\start.cmd

2022/02/06 - 06:35:29 | INFO  | setup searching C:\Program Files\WindowsApps for executables
2022/02/06 - 06:35:30 | INFO  | setup found 133 priority executables

Please provide a screenshot of the problem if possible.

Thanks for your response but it looks like I was getting mixed up. I had two ways to start the batch file as I was mess about and it was not the admin one when I was trying it last. It works fine.
