Setting "Always run WinGet operations with administrator rights" is ignored when running updates/installations from Winget-Sources.

When you say "is ignored", you mean that the package is not elevated at all, or that you see an UAC prompt each time?

It means I see no UAC prompt. Installation will happen not elevated. Unfortunately most of my installations need elevation. So update/install fails.

If I manually use "Install/Update as admin" this works.

Does this only happen with WinGet? Or other package managers are affected too? (I mean, with their specific settings)

I realize the option I have selected here usually either isnt respected or I misunderstood it. I was hoping for a solution so that when I batch update, I can elevate once and anything that needs to be updated with admin uses that elevation prompt and life goes smoothly.

Do I first have to configure update as admin in uniget?

Yes

I am experiencing the same issue with both winget and chocolatey

Same here, have tried both options for "Enable the new UniGetUI-Branded UAC Elevator" and the Chocolatey manager has "Always run Chocolatey operations with administrator rights" enabled. Worked in previous versions but not as of at least 3.1.5.
