Windows 10: Starting a program without running it as administrator

I just installed Photoshop CS6 and whenever I want to open it, it requires administration and I have to click "yes". Is there a way to stop this? The program seems like it's set to always run as administrator since there's a shield icon on it. But the option in the properties isn't checked. What should I do?

a program on windows 10 can only be started with "Run as an adminstrator"

Hi Jaap,

If a program is configured to Always Run as an Administrator, there is a possibility that the program is protected from unauthorized access.

For us to isolate your issue and provide an appropriate resolution, we would like to know the following:

• Is the issue isolated only on a specific program?
• Are you using an administrator account?

In the meantime, we have steps that we can try to allow a program to run in standard mode. Here are the steps below:

• Type in the "program name" in the Search box.
• Right-click on the program and select Open file location.
• Right-click on the program and click Properties.
• Click the Compatibility tab.
• Under the Settings section, uncheck Run this program as an administrator.

Let us know if you need anything else.

 

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 ?

 

Windows 10 and starting a program as administrator

We can run as administrator simply by right clicking on the shortcut and clicking "Run as administrator".

Another possibility is to change properties of the shortcut so that right clicking is not necessary. The steps to do this are as follows:

1. Right click on the program (shortcut)
   
2. Click on Properties
   
3. Navigate to the Shortcut tab and find "Choose enhanced properties of this shortcut"
   
4. Click on Advanced...
   
5. Check Run as administrator
   
6. Click OK twice
   
7. (Optional) Rename the shortcut to know it runs under administrator rights
   

Previous method can make two independent shortcuts.
Another option:
Note that following method changes rights to the whole program, so you cannot have two independent shortcuts for a single program. If you just want to run program as administrator by right clicking, that is also valid option. The below changes rights to all shortcuts of the program.

1. Right click on the program (shortcut)
   
2. Click on Properties
   
3. Navigate to the Compatibility tab
   
4. Check Run this program as administrator
   
5. Click OK
