Windows 10: timeout not always working in script

l am using a C++ app that shells out a win11 cmd script. The script has "timeout /T 20" in it.The script works fine if I start the app using "run as administrator" or if I just let it run from the task manager startup ie: when the system boots.it does not work when I start the app by clicking on the shortcut. It simply prints "20" and the command shell processor goes immediately to the next line of the script.It there a fix for this in the app?I can enable the administrator option in the shortcut but then I have to confirm every time I run the app.
