I upgraded my work laptop to Windows 11 and after that i had to reinstall RSAT, as it disappeared. I have the Active Directory Users and Computers now, but my shortcut to run it with different credentials (ctrl shift right click) is not working. it just opens the application straight away, which is not allowing me to make any admin changes. Could you please assist urgently?

    I successed. I create a new shortcut to desktop from he folder which contains dsa.ms. and shift and right mouse. I could open with different user. after that I can manage on the other shortcut too.

    Hello @Mags

    The most viable recommendation would be two:

    1) Check if there are any pending updates on Windows Update in the windows 11 settings.

    2) Return to windows 10 as it may be a temporary glitch that is affecting that particular feature.

    To return to windows 10, use the steps below:

    1) Open the “Settings” application; Select “System”; Look for the “Recover” option and select;

    2) In the option “Back to a previous version of Windows”, click on “Back”; Confirm Microsoft's warnings and the downgrade will begin; Wait for the process to finish;

    Also, I recommend that you post your question on the windows 11 forum, as there you will be greeted by an engineer from the windows 11 team, who has the most recent information to pass on to you, to do this just use the link below and select the main option called "Ask a question" and describe the entire problem, including images:
