    How to always run a default program in Administrator mode


    I've set a particular program to be the default for a given extension, so that when I double-click a file with that extension it is automatically opened with the program. In addition, though, I'd like that program to always run in Administrator mode. Is there a way of doing that with Windows 10 v. 1909?

    (As it is, when I double-click the file, the default program will open it in User mode and will continue to run until it requires Administrator authority and then send an error message. At that point I'll have to close the program, run the program again in Administrator mode, then finally open the desired file from within the program.)

    :)

  2. Unable to Run Certain Applications Without Running as Administrator [Windows 10 x64bit]

    Hello vincent7763, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

    To always run applications as administrator I would suggest following the below instructions followed by a URL that you may refer to for more information.

    Step 1: Open the Start menu and click All apps. Find the program you want to always run in administrator mode and right-click on the shortcut. In the pop-up menu, click Open file location. Only desktop programs (not native Windows 10 apps) will have this option.

    Step 2: A File Explorer window will open to the location of the program you want to access. Right-click on the program and click Properties from the pop-up menu.

    Step 3: In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab and then click Advanced...

    Step 4: In the Advanced Properties window, check the box next to Run as administrator and click OK.

    Step 5: The program will now open in administrator mode when you click the shortcut from the Start menu. You'll need to repeat these steps for each program you want to have this feature.

    Thank you and good luck.

    If you're bothered of seeing the UAC pop-ups, you can get rid of them by setting programs to run in administrator mode by default. There are a few steps to run an application as administrator by default that you can try. Kindly follow the steps below to
    make the changes:

    • Open the Start menu and click All apps. Find the program you want to always run in administrator mode and right-click on the shortcut. In the pop-up menu, click Open file location. Only desktop programs (not native Windows 10 apps) will have this option.
    • A File Explorer window will open to the location of the program you want to access. Right-click on the program and click Properties from the pop-up menu.
    • In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab and then click Advanced
    • In the Advanced Properties window, check the box next to Run as administrator and click OK.
    • The program will now open in administrator mode when you click the shortcut from the Start menu. You'll need to repeat these steps for each program you want to have this feature.
