  1. Programs always run as administrator without checking "Run this program as an administrator"


    Hello as the title says random things have an administrator icon shield thing and when I open it, it says Do you want to allow this program, etc normal run as administrator stuff and when I go in properties then compatibility I don't have checked "Run this program as an administrator" I checked everything in properties. this happens to all programs like I made a program then opened it and it requires an administrator next time I open it ;-; it acts like I have checked "Run this program as an administrator" normally but in reality, I don't.

    :)

    Unassociated file associations only running programs as administrator


    My issue revolves around encountering read/wright permissions with programs Java-based programs. I currently have installed jdk-8u65-windows-x64 on Windows 10 64-bit. Java is installed on C drive within program files. by Java-based programs reside outside the program folders on the C drive. Running the Java-based programs as administrator should solve the issue of read/wright permissions.

    Only when I run as administrator the Java-based programs do I encounter the error depicted the below.
    Running the program with unelevated privileges everything works as expected except for the read/write errors. Elevating the program to administrator causes it to complain about not having the correct file associations performed the selected action.


    Programs always run as administrator without checking "Run this program as an administrator" [​IMG]


    Progress thus far...
    • The file associations are set correctly. I've check within Windows settings and the registry.
    • Uninstalled and reinstalled Java
    • Disabled UAC *required a reboot

    I'm at a loss to how to troubleshoot this as I've checked all the points of failure that I can think of so far.
     
  3. Cannot run a program from an Administrator account

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    • Have you tried with other programs?
    • Is this issue confined only with particular app\program?
    I suggest you to check with other apps\programs and let us know with the result.

    Also enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:

    net user administrator /active:yes

    Note: Disable the account by running the following command after troubleshooting the issue:

    net user administrator /active:no

    Once you have enabled the account, you will see it listed in the user accounts control panel applet. Note that the account has not assigned a password to it, and that you should consider setting one to improve account security.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    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 ?
