How to always allow administrator permissions for a specific application

Hi Lyon,

Windows 10 gives users the ability to customize how they run applications. We suggest that you follow the steps below on how to grant administrator permission to a specific application:

• Click the Windows icon on your Windows 10 screen that will open the list of applications. Right click on the specific application that you wish to have an admin permission, click the
  More and click Open file location.
• A new window will open to the location of the program. 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. Repeat the steps above for other desired applications.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Applications won't start when run as administrator

We would like to know if there's any error message when you tried to run it as admin?

We suggest that you use the System File Checker tool to scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files. The sfc/scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces
incorrect, corrupted, changed or damaged versions with the correct versions possible. You may refer to this link for
more information.



If the issue persists even after using System File Checker tool, please follow the steps below to run the DISM tool:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select the Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, enter the following commands (Press the Enter key after each command):
  

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth



DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• 
  To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and press Enter.
  
• 
  Restart the machine.
  

Regards.
