Bug: Installing multiple fonts triggers multiple UAC prompts #14503

Description

I believe the title says it all.
Trying to run Files as an elevated process beforehand does not solve this as it calls external powershell scripts.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Download font bundle
  2. Extract
  3. Select all
  4. Install for all users

Requirements

Permission should only be asked for once.
Perhaps calling a single script wherein lies a single loop, given paths to all selected files, could do the job ?

Files Version

3.1.1.0

Windows Version

10.0.19045.2788

Log File

debug.log

This is, from my quick glance at the linked issue, unrelated.
I have not reported any crash, but rather a major annoyance that renders a context menu entry practically useless, by spamming the user with UAC prompts. (plus the tiny yet significant delay between each prompt, this effectively locked my machine (twice, because I thought I could fix it, so I tried once more) for multiple minutes)

The crash was caused by running multiple scripts at the same time, the fix was to only run a single script as you suggested so I'm surprised that the issue is back.
