### ⚠ RUNTIME REQUIREMENT

**MiracleBoot.ps1 MUST RUN WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES**

This is required for:
- Boot Configuration Data (BCD) access
- System repair operations
- Windows Update diagnostics
- Recovery partition management

### HOW TO RUN

#### Option 1: Using the Launcher Batch File (RECOMMENDED)
```batch
RUN_MIRACLEBOOT_ADMIN.bat
```
This will:
1. Prompt for administrator consent (UAC)
2. Launch MiracleBoot.ps1 with proper privileges
3. Automatically log output to file with timestamp
4. Keep window open for review

#### Option 2: Manual Launch (PowerShell as Admin)
```powershell
cd "c:\Users\zerou\Downloads\MiracleBoot_v7_1_1 - Github code"
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "MiracleBoot.ps1" 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath "MIRACLEBOOT_RUN_$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd_HHmmss').log"
```

#### Option 3: Direct Right-Click
1. Right-click MiracleBoot.ps1
2. Select "Run with PowerShell as Administrator"
3. Accept any prompts

### TEST RESULTS

**Test Date**: January 7, 2026
**Test File**: TEST_SIMPLE_LOAD.ps1

```
Test 1: Loading WinRepairCore.ps1... [OK]
Test 2: Loading WinRepairGUI.ps1... [OK]
Test 3: Checking for Start-GUI function... [OK]
Test 4: Checking WinRepairCore functions... [OK]
- Test-AdminPrivileges: [OK]
- Get-WindowsVolumes: [OK]
- Get-BCDEntries: [OK]

RESULT: All scripts loaded successfully!
```

### WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN

When executed as Administrator with full OS environment, MiracleBoot.ps1 will:

1. **Check Environment** - Detect if running in FullOS, WinRE, or WinPE
2. **Check Capabilities** - Verify PowerShell, network, and WPF availability
3. **Load GUI** - If FullOS with WPF available, starts interactive GUI interface
4. **Fallback to TUI** - If GUI fails or environment doesn't support it, uses terminal UI

### RECENT FIXES INCLUDED

Based on the code comments in WinRepairGUI.ps1 (January 7, 2026):
1. ✓ Function closure fixed - Start-GUI function has proper closing brace
2. ✓ Null checks added - All event handler registration wrapped in guards
3. ✓ XAML error reporting - Detailed error messages for parsing failures
4. ✓ Duplicate calls removed - Eliminated erroneous $W.ShowDialog() calls

### NEXT DEVELOPMENT STEPS

If issues occur when running as Admin:
1. Check output log file (named MIRACLEBOOT_RUN_[timestamp].log)
2. Review error messages for specific component failures
3. Run TEST_SIMPLE_LOAD.ps1 to verify script loading still works
4. Check Windows Event Viewer for system errors
5. Verify administrator privileges with Test-AdminPrivileges function

### FILES CREATED FOR TESTING

- **TEST_SIMPLE_LOAD.ps1** - Validates script loading and function availability
- **TEST_LOAD_DIAGNOSTIC.ps1** - Comprehensive diagnostic test
- **RUN_MIRACLEBOOT_ADMIN.bat** - Convenient admin launcher
- **RUN_DIAGNOSTIC_AS_ADMIN.bat** - Elevated diagnostic test
