AW: Using WireGuard on Windows as non-admin - proper solution?

[Joachim Lindenberg]

On Windows home you can almost safely assume the local user is member of Administrators, thus testing for membership in S-1-5-32-556 (for Pro and up) or S-1-5-32-544 might do the trick.

Please note that unfortunately the S-1-5-32-556 group doesn't exist in all Windows editions. For example, it does not exist in Windows 10 Home.

The general idea is fine, and that group could very well be the default one; however it might be useful to also have a registry key to pick a different SID.
