I stumbled upon an issue that drove me bit nuts over the weekend: if I called RelaunchElevated (by passing
/uor manually), while launching from Visual Studio (with or without a debugger), the child process launched, but it didn't have any visible windows!Upon further investigation I found that the value of
STARTUPINFO.wShowWindowwas 0 for some reason, when running from VS (it corresponds to SW_HIDE). When launched from a cmd shell it had a value 1.Having no idea why this happens, I asked this question on StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36953886/startupinfo-wshowwindow-is-0-when-running-from-visual-studio
In the meantime, here's a fix that will pass
SW_SHOWNORMALto the child process, making sure its window is always visible.
