Run As Administrator is NOT required for KLA tracker and in general should be avoided as it is a security risk.
From the KLA website:
The installation is simple. You need Java 1.8 or later installed. On Windows put the program in any directory you like and just double click the exe to run it. On Linux or Mac double click the KlaTrack bash script to launch it. Ask me if you need help.
Run As Admin has been discussed at length on the WSJT-X and JTAlert Lists....very bad idea.

Thanks (as always) for the great advice received on this forum.
The problem with KalTrack turned out to be Windows 10 resizing the “settings” window so that “SAVE” and “CANCEL” buttons were not visible. Simply grabbing the lower right corner of the window and stretching it did the trick.
Everything working great now.
I had a couple of points of confusion along the way:
Whenever the author recommends downloading Java Runtime Environment, that really just means “Java.” Download and install the latest version of Java—and uninstall any older versions. As many pointed out, “Run as Administrator” works best.
This is a great piece of software to help quickly visualize what passes are coming up. Just what I needed.
