Windows 10: How to always allow a certain program to bypass UAC as a standard User on Windows 11 Home?

I followed this guidehttps://www.digitalcitizen.life/use-task-scheduler-launch-programs-without-uac-prompts/ in a previous answer and as long as I am logged in on the Admin Account I created it works perfectly with the created shortcut. I copied the shortcut to the standard user desktop.However when I change to the standard user where I need it to run, it completely fails. You can see a little blip like it opened something but it never actually runs the program. No errors or any other indication of what may have gone wrong other than no application execution. Nothing listed in Taskmanager.If

How to always allow a certain program to bypass UAC?

I am always running this program and the UAC pop-ups are kind of annoying. I don't want to disable UAC because it's useful for other programs, so how can I make it not ask just for this one? This solution: Redirecting does not work. Thank you

 

UAC & standard users with additional privileges

I am marking this problem as solved. The problem was:

Allow a standard user to enable/disable a network without having to enter a password every time.

My solution for Windows 7 was:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. Create a shortcut to the network adapter.
4. Right-click on the shortcut to see or change the state of the network adapter.

I have received many useful and instructive suggestions on Tenforums. Based on those suggestions,
here's my solution for Windows 10:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. In a cmd window, run this command
netsh interface show interface
to learn the name of the network adapter.
4. Run Task Scheduler using the password of the standard user.
5. Create two shortcuts in accordance with Option 2 in this tutorial:
Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials
-- at Step 3, name the shortcuts something like “EnableLAN” and “DisableLAN”
-- at Step 7, in the Program/script field, type netsh
-- at Step 8, into the Add arguments field, type
interface set interface "name of network adapter" admin=enable
(Make the last element “disable” for the second task.)
-- at Step 14, name the shortcuts something like “Turn LAN On” and “Turn LAN Off”
6. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type ncpa.cpl into Run, and click OK to open the Network Connections window. Keep this window open on your desktop to see the state of the network adapter. The color of the icon reflects the state of the adapter.
7. Click on one or the other of the two newly-created shortcuts to change the state of the network adapter. A cmd window briefly flashes on the screen. This can be eliminated using the procedure mentioned by Try3 in a previous post, if desired.

The solution for Windows 10 is much more cumbersome than the solution for Windows 7. I have to stop using Windows 7 due to the end of Microsoft support, and this is not the first time that I find Windows 10 to be less user friendly than Windows 7.

Thanks, again, to all who have kindly given me help and advice

 

Bypass UAC with Task Scheduler for Standard User Account

Hello, I'm trying to accomplish something that I haven't had success with yet.

I'm trying to automatically launch Skype in a standard user account. When Skype automatically updates itself, however, it prompts UAC, preventing it from launching unless an administrator password is entered. I want to bypass UAC so that Skype will automatically
launch, even when updating itself, within the standard user account.

I've tried to get this to work through task scheduler. Under General --> Security options in the task that I create, I use an administrator account to run the task, select "Run whether user is logged in or not," and select "Run with highest privileges."
When I try to run the task though, Skype doesn't launch (Right now, Skype needs to complete an auto-update. When I try to launch it normally, using the start menu, I receive a UAC prompt. I've left it un-updated so that I can test my method.).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
