Run the mapper as administrator

One of the most common mistakes is to try to map the kernel driver without administrator priviledges.
Most standard manual mappers require administrator priviledges in order to work.

In order to run these applications as administrator, the terminal itself must be started as administrator.

How to start PowerShell as administrator​

  1. Search for PowerShell within the Windows search bar
  2. Right click and select "Run as administrator"
  3. Select "Yes" for the User Account Controll popup

When done correctly, a PowerShell window should open.
One of the key difference is, that the default selected path should be C:\Windows\system32 as well as an Administrator: in the window title.
