what is this script looking add-on to my msdt ?

Tags: Microsoft

“C:\WINDOWS\system32\msdt.exe” -id AudioRecordingDiagnostic -skip yes -ep SystemSettings_Toubleshoot_L2 -elevated yes . So , this comes up when I try to run the audio troubleshooter in the UAC window as the name of the program I am authorizing to run. wonder if anyone has an idea of what the extra script-like bit is . Stumped the microsoft answer forum folks and one of them sent me here looking for an answer. any help or thoughts are greratly appreciated as my system is in some disarray since the update to 20h2. more than happy to give further details if that helps. thanx, Taylor

That are parameters for the program. It seems it needs to be told the values of 4 parameters named id, skip, ep and elevated to do what you ask. If you think you know better (either other values or less or more parameters) just use those. But I would trust Microsoft.

The people on the forum are volunteers. They don’t represent Microsoft. I meant “the Microsoft developer that made it like this”.

Feel free to run it with other parameters from the command prompt. Search documentation about those parameters first.
