burp suite pro only runs as admin

Steven | Last updated: Dec 11, 2019 11:41AM UTC

Hi folks. I'm having an issue running Burp Suite pro on a windows 10 machine. It only seems to run as admin. When I run it as a user, the splash screen opens and closes straight away. It works on other windows 10 machines so not sure what the difference is with this one.

Hi Steven, where is Burp Suite installed in your machine? It could be that your user account does not have the right permissions to access it.

Burp User | Last updated: Dec 16, 2019 03:37PM UTC

Hi. Its installed in program files, but the user has full permissions to these folder.

Hi Steven, What user was used to install Burp on this machine? Have you checked the permissions on the BurpSuitePro.exe file, located in the ?C:\Program Files\BurpSuiteProto directory, in order to confirm that the Read & Execute permissions have been set for your user?
