What’s Happening
Some customers using Auction Flex desktop (installed on their own PCs) may see an error message when trying to open the program:
“Error 1730: You do not have the required access rights.”
This started after a recent Windows update. The update changed how Windows handles certain programs, and it now asks for an administrator password that many users don’t have or don’t know.
Who Is Affected
Customers running Auction Flex on their own desktop computers.
Customers using our cloud-hosted Auction Flex environment are not affected.

Microsoft has acknowledged this problem and says they are working on a fix. However, the timing is uncertain and similar issues could happen again with future updates.
