I'm not quite following your question. Can you describe things a little more clearly? – Flydog57 Jul 17 '20 at 22:59

Probably his application needs some admin account and asking for credential. He is asking if i can fill them from my application. The basic answer is "no, you can't" :) – DLL_Whisperer Jul 17 '20 at 23:03

Because that's something beyond your application. OS related thing. There is a reason windows pops that's dialog. Reason is security. And if you can do that you can consider yourself as "i hacked the windows": Because that's a security vulnerability. And if u post that to the microsoft security team you would probably get good money for that ;) Consider that logging in windows without knowing password. Pretty much same thing – DLL_Whisperer Jul 19 '20 at 21:06

It is not safe to let a program fill in the credentials. This would mean that operators could bypass this security by starting a program. That would make it vulnerable for hacker attacks. If you don't want the credentials window, make sure you don't do anything that needs the credentials, or start the program as a user with the proper rights. – Harald Coppoolse Jul 20 '20 at 09:55
