Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If there are unsaved changes to a profile when clicking the button at the bottom of the interface to re-launch as Administrator, there is no indication that the unsaved changes will be lost.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if the Save Profile Changes? dialog that appears when attempting to switching profiles would show, or at least a warning that changes will be lost when the program is re-launched.

Describe alternatives you've considered
