Windows 10: User Access Control in Windows 10

Hi Team,I'm trying to run an application and this application requires admin privileges every time I run it. The user who trying to run this app is a common user and doesn't have admin privileges on the system. My simple question is there any way to give this common user admin privileges on this specific application? and how we can do that? For example, in Linux we can give the user superuser privileges on specific applications via sudo capability. is there something similar in Windows?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
