On one of my Windows work laptops, the restrictions placed on devs are ridiculous, they won't even grant admin rights. Instead they have some bug-ridden software installed that let's you elevate specific apps. You need to request access to those apps, and your request goes through a weeks or even months long process before you get a response. If granted, you need to enter your username and password for each elevation, every single time.

This machine has hyper-v installed, so I created a Windows 10 VM and worked in that fullscreen, permanently.

Gods but I hate working for this mega corp!
