Windows 10: Allow account to run a program as admin without needing my password or admin

Hello! I have someone else who uses my computer and had a standard account, but they've been having trouble running a game, as it needs to launch as admin and requires my password everytime.

I've tried using the task scheduler workaround but that didn't work, and I was unable to get runas to work as well. If I set the user to admin so they can run the program, then they can access all my personal files. Is there anyway to let a user run this one program as an admin without making them an administrator, or having them be an administrator but be unable to access/delete things when they throw a tantrum?

Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

What are your ideas?
