Model loading failed:
error starting runner: fork/exec C:\Users\tilannlou\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\ollama.exe: The requested operation requires elevation
When attempting to launch an Ollama model, Windows insists on “Run as Administrator” before allowing the model to load. This built-in permission protection is blocking Ollama’s execution.
On my personal machine I’m already signed in with the highest privileges—and I’ve even set Ollama to always run as administrator—yet it’s still being blocked.
The workaround is to uninstall the following updates. After removing them, Ollama runs normally:
wusa /uninstall /kb:5030211 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:5034441 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:5035853 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:5035855 /quiet /norestart
Environment: Windows 11, version 24H2
Microsoft, please stop breaking basic developer workflows
