Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to Run as not getting full admin previlages

1. Create a normal Short-Cut to application.exe on the desktop.
2. Right-click the short-cut and select Properties.
3. In the Target box, insert the following: runas /user:ComputerName\Username /savecred "C:\path\to\file.exe"
4. Double-click the new short-cut, and enter the administrator password.

Doing this will prompt you to enter in admin credentials once and once they are entered they get stored in Windows Credential manager and do not have to be entered again. The application will run elevated each time.
