Handling 'Administrator Required' Prompts During Install
Overview: Handling 'Administrator Required' Prompts During Install — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Download and installation must go through the official channel with a signature check — follow the steps and the risk is low.
Action steps:
- Right-click the installer and run it as administrator.
- Accept the UAC / privileged prompts only if the publisher reads Ledger SAS.
- If blocked by endpoint security, add an exception for the installer.
- Restart the machine once and launch Ledger Live.
- Run the Genuine Check before connecting any real account.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
