Windows 10: How to grant local admin access to a specific app in Windows 10?

There is an application that is programmed to ask for local admin password as soon a user tries to launch it.


There is only 3-4 users out of 1500+ users who need access to this application and as per the current protocols, these users in question are not meant to have local admin access. However, their job needs them to use this poorly coded application that needs local admin access.


So, I'm trying to find a solution on how to permanently grant admin access to just 1 specific application.


I have found a lot of online resources that show how an app can be run as an admin but that will only work till the time admin password does not change. I'm trying to find a better solution, if possible.


Any help/advise is greatly appreciated


Thanks

:)

 

Can't access store on windows 10

Hi Yasmin,

Are you logged in as the admin? Which account (email or local)? Is the issue specific to Store?

I suggest you to run the Windows 10 app troubleshooter and check.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps



Also do a Windows Store reset by following the steps below.

• 
  Right click on Start button and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
  
• 
  Type “wsreset.exe” and press enter.
  

Hope it helps.
