Delphi 10.4.2 unable to run debugging

If I try to run a program in debugging mode I get "Cannot create process: cannot find the specified file", while it works without problems in released mode. I found the same problem discussed here several years ago. Carefully I followed all the suggestions of that old case but without any good result. Of course I checked all the security staff and compatibilities. I run the Delphi 10.4.2 on a Dell 9510 with windows 11 and Microsoft defender only. I checked also the firewall and open ports.
Can someone give me an hint. Thankyou
More of what I wrote before I have reinstalled Delphi and made a run of Dell diagnostics for what the Laptop OS and HW is concerned.
The program, in the present and actual version works without problem but I need to modify it and I cannot do that if I cannot get debugging info and step by step running.

UWF uwfmgr.exe doesn't do anything

Bear with me please, since I don't know that much about Windows – I'm trying to set up UWF (Unified Writing Filter) here on my mac through a Parallels installation of Windows 10. I found out how to enable UWF through the Control Pane, which I did. I then restarted the Virtual Machine. When I then tried to configure it through the powershell or command prompt (both run in admin mode), I got no response whatsoever. The uwfmgr.exe is there under c:\windows\system32, but like I said, it doesn't do anything when I run it. No response – but also, no error.
Can anyone help me with this?
I had the same issue and solved it by downloading the latest ISO for 10 Enterprise.
It seems you need a Windows 10 Enterprise edition for this to work. Just re-activating windows with an Enterprise key makes uwfmgr.exe print stuff again. Just testing, whether it works as well.
This was tested on Windows 10, V1809.

Simulating logging in to Windows without GUI

I am writing an automation the deployes several machines and installs several programs on them.
One of the steps a user would do manually is logging off and on to a windows computer as part of an installation process.
Can someone please point me to relevant links so i can understand how to simulate a logging in process into windows without a gui?
I mean i need to make the machine think someone logged in to it and i am using only powershell.
launching mstsc does not do the trick because i cant overcome the request for certificate (I need an automatic process but i did not find a way to silence the certificate warning)
I searched for a couple of days and could not find what I was looking for.
Thank you for your help!
It's just an idea. Perhaps you can first make the image of the machines with automatic logon , install the software and finally remove the automatic logon ?
This link has details about Automatic Logon

Starting my application when windows starts up (All versions of Windows)?

I am writing an application using Delphi 2010. I would like to have my application start up when windows starts up. I need this to work in the latest versions of Windows XP, 7.0, and the latest servers.
Would storing it under the following key work, or do i need to do something else?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
thanks for any help
That will only result in it starting when the user running the installation process connects. If you want it to start when Windows starts then try under HKLM.
Be aware that these Run key entries execute when a user logs on. To launch a task on startup, it's better to write windows services, which is quite easy to do in Delphi.

(Windows) How to lock all applications (explorer, task manager etc.) and make only the browser active?

I'm trying to run only the browser in the system - locking access to everything else. Only the supervisor can resume the normal functioning of the system after giving a password.
This kind of activity is usually done by virus. Disabling the registry for Task manager etc. Does anyone know of any source available that does this? I might be able to pull it off in Windows XP. But have anyone tried this in Windows 7 ?
The aim is to to emulate the Chrome OS on Windows. Only the browser. Nothing else.
Sounds like you're after Kiosk Mode. Knowing that, a little searching gives a guide to what to do.
AFAIK, What you are attempting is NOT natively possible on windows.
You best bet would be to write a program that runs in the background and monitors for any processes apart from the browser being launched.
It should immediately terminate the "unauthorised" processes as soon as they are created.
Also using the group-policy manager restrict access to the task-manager to prevent the user from stopping this process.
