RE: Windows 8.1 RMS 2.0 Macro
Hi there,
I've raised this with Microsoft and received confirmation that this is a known defect that has not yet been resolved and does not yet have an ETA. I do not believe CU5 will resolve the issue.
Response from MS Support on 2/4/2014:
"There is currently a product defect for macros in Windows 8 and 8.1. The defect ID is 1834 and I will be adding this service request to the tracker so we can provide you with the fix when it is released."
They also later asserted:
"We do not recommend disabling the UAC via the registry, as this can cause additional issues with other Windows components"
And on the 9th April:
"Currently, there is not an ETA as to when this bug will be fixed...we will contact you again to provide you with the fix."
