    How to Run Program without Admin Privileges and Bypass UAC Prompt?

    When started, some programs require permission elevation (the shield next to the app icon), but actually, they don’t need administrator privileges for their normal operation. For example, you can manually grant permissions for your users on the app folder in the ProgramFiles and/or registry keys used by the program. If the User Account Control is enabled on the computer, a UAC prompt will appear and Windows will ask the user to enter the administrator password if you try to run such a program as a standard user.

    To bypass this mechanism, many admins simply disable UAC or grant admin rights by adding a user account to the local group “Administrators”. Of course, both methods are not safe.  Neither of these methods is recommended for widespread use because they reduce Windows security. In this article, we will look at how to run a program that requires administrator permissions as a standard user and suppress the UAC elevation prompt.
