Windows 10: How to remove Run as administrator from Context menu in Windows 11

Add or Remove Run as administrator Context Menu in Windows 10


This didn't work for me. Sometime after upgrading to the Windows 10 Anniversary update I noticed Run as Administrator was missing from the right-click context menu. (I've also installed the Take Ownership reg hack which may be related?)

I also couldn't open an elevated DOS prompt. When I clicked shift right-click on the Start button and selected Command Prompt (Admin) a DOS window would pop open for a split second and then close, with no error indication.

One other strange thing that's been happening since the upgrade is Windows Explorer 'unexpectedly' stops and restarts several times a day. Sometimes on its own and sometimes when I click on a file or try to open the file in a program.

After installing your Run as Administrator .REG, it still does not show up on my context menu, but I see that opening an elevated DOS prompt now works. Thanks for fixing that at least. I can still open a program as Administrator if I press Shift then right-click and Run as a Different User and give the Administrator name and password.

Any suggestion for how to get Run as Administrator back into my Context Menu?

Thanks,
Larry

 

Add or Remove Run as administrator Context Menu in Windows 10


It's not working for me. I can't add "Run as administrator" to context menu. Maybe Creator's Update broke it?

EDIT: It actually does something. It adds and removes "Run as administrator" if I open programs from the start menu. Maybe the problem is that I want to run a visual studio .sln file as administrator?

 

Add or Remove Mount Context Menu in Windows 10


Shawn, I'm having a problem with option one, step 2......

Unblocked download as usual, I am an administrator, etc. Did the normal MERGE of .reg to registry.

Here's what I get:
The hex string in the .reg file is missing in registry. I get OPEN, not MOUNT in Explorer. I can mount it thru file explorer, but no MOUNT cmd.








Thanks, Dick...
