Non-elevated woes... How can I get the most from my laptop?

Your lucky, the education institution I was at didn't even allow binaries unless they had been vetted and approved by them.

That's the most secure way to do it. Nobody wants ransomware to hit.

What's worse is when you not only have that to deal with, but also the malware protection that is installed marks everything you want to run as a PUP and deletes it. (Bad enough for anyone but utterly ridiculous for a senior tech support lead.)

No... you don't have it the worst.  As a programmer, when I create something and it gets marked as malware.

I had passwords for multiple servers/app pools/user accounts, and nothing to store them in that was approved.  So I made my own thing instead of storing them in a text file.  Had the source and everything.

They marked my encrypted password files as malware and deleted my passwords.

Oh- why... yes, that would make for a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day.  :'(

Thankfully, I'd done something else against InfoSec policy and synced the encrypted files to dropbox, so I was able to recover it  ;D
