Syscon crashes on launching help on Windows 8.1

Question

Syscon crashes on launching help on Windows 8.1.
This problem occurs when user is logged in Admin mode.
The root cause for this issue is that In Windows 8.1, UAC(User access control) is disabled by default in built-in admin mode
So, in this scenario on pressing F1, when we execute the following statement windows throws an exception.
Process.Start(documentPath);

Hi
in this scenario on pressing F1, when we execute the following statement windows throws an exception.
You use the Process.Start(documentPath), what is the content in the documentpath?
And when you execute the code, what is the exception you got?
when I try to use the Process.Start() to open an exe, it works well.
string documentpath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Simulator\12.0\Microsoft.Windows.Simulator.exe";
Process.Start(documentpath);
And you mentioned pressing F1, Do you want to open this documentpath when you press F1??
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
string documentpath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Simulator\12.0\Microsoft.Windows.Simulator.exe";
Process.Start(documentpath);
If you could share the more details about this issue, I will help you better.
Best regards,
Youjun Tang
