Windows 10: Program run as admin under standard user, when clicking web link in application opens MS...

Using Windows 10 Professional Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎12/‎20/‎2022 OS build 19045.2364 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0 I have several applications, HWIN64 hardware monitoring and Logitech My Harmony, which default to running as an administrator UAC prompt asking for admin password. I also verified on Task Manager in the Details pane, and they are definitely running as User = Administrator.The problem occurs when there are any type of web links that are clicked in the application. Such as support pages, applications update links, etc.

Allow Standard User run application as admin

we have a shortcut that is calling a .exe file that requires admin rights by the UAC. I would like to be able to run the application without any admin rights or give the standard user admin rights only to this .exe. What we have done and failed.

1. Application properties >> security >> Advanced >> Permissions >> Full Control
   
   to local group A (which includes the user) and user by them self.
   
   1. Gave ownership of folder to local Group A.
      
   2. I looked in Regedit and I see the user, and they have full control for that application.
      
   3. have checked run as admin and unchecked too.
      We do not want to use /savecred because of security risk. What other steps can we take to find a solution.

Running Programs for a standard user

Hello

You mentioned checking the the box 'Run as Administrator'

This is the opposite of what I require ,I wanted to avoid running programs as admin . By unchecking 'Run As Administrator' I am still getting an admin credential verification prompt

Any further suggestions ?

 

Running Programs for a standard user

Last Christmas I had purchased a Windows 10 laptop for my teenage niece , through experience I realized that it was not wise to set her up as an administrator which could potentially allow her to install viruses/malware/adware/spyware

So I created for her a standard account with Teamviewer and a local Admin account so that I can install programs for her , remotely on the fly should she wish . I have since installed several programs one including a DJ software known as FL studio (Fruityloops
) . The challenge now however is that every-time she's logged on as a standard user and clicks on the FL Studio application shortcut , windows annoyingly prompts my niece to enter Admin credentials to run the program

My Question is , how can I set up or change the machine so that my niece who is set up as a 'standard user' can run programs without having to know admin credentials

I do not see the logic in blocking a harmless program run under a standard user account

I assumed this would be a simple change to UAC , though I have not been able to run the FL studio as a standard user - Very annoying
