Alright i got this Error after trying to install the [0.13.4] update manually. I downloaded it to make sure it wasn't a corrupt download.


I'm running Windows 10.


Will troubleshoot further.

Please elaborate, what did you do, step by step.

The ShellExecuteEx failed; code 8235 error occurs when the UAC settings in Windows 10 are too strict to allow applications to run under certain circumstances, probably because you are/were in a domain where the policies are set by the domain controller (which would match the Windows 10 Enterprise you are using).

This shouldn't only affect Factorio, other applications should be affected as well.

You can disable UAC (not recommended) or try the following:

• Run "secpol.msc" -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
• Disable "User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated" option
• Disable "User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are in secure locations" option

Hey, yea sorry I forgot to get back to this, it is not a factorio Issue what so ever, i was tweaking the security options for testing for a policy enforcement at the IT company I work for and forgot to roll them back

But yes Daniel, you were right, you have to disable the following two local polices in security to fix the above pop ups.



Thanks alot tho, you guys are great in your response time and support.
