Admin rights?
This application generally does not require administrative privileges and can be installed and run by a normal user. However, certain features (such as per-machine installation or uninstallation) may require local administrator privileges. If this is the case, MSIX Hero will display the UAC prompt when it needs administrator rights. If you start MSIX Hero as an administrator, no additional UAC prompts will be shown during runtime.

Privacy and security?
This application is virus-free and really only does what it promises. It has no telemetry or unwarranted communication with the Internet. There are only three cases when MSIX Hero makes an internet call: (1) checking for the latest available version (which can only be triggered manually by the user, there is no automatic check done by the app), (2) attaching timestamps to signed packages (if timestamp server is configured), in which case signtool.exe contacts a timestamp server configured by the user, and (3) getting the list of accessible timestamps from a public gist. Note that Windows can do additional things on its own (general telemetry and reporting, checking for app installer updates, updating Defender signatures, etc.), but they belong to Windows and are not part of MSIX Hero.

All binary files and MSIX packages are digitally signed to prevent tampering.
