Windows 8 running program as administrator

AngelGraves13 Posted November 19, Worm Jimmy Like Loading Hi, Thanks for your reply. But things seem different in Windows 8. However, right-click and select "Run As Administrator", and it does. If you see what I mean! Blimpo Posted November 19, I'd also like to know how to do this.. Dot Matrix Posted November 19, You cannot disable UAC in Windows 8. There is no option to do so. ITFiend Posted November 19, TPreston Posted November 19, Just do the above, Silently elevate admins and deny guests and users.

It's good enough for me. HawkMan Posted November 19, You second statement invalidates your first statement. ITFiend Posted November 20, Posted November 20, Thank you, this worked for me :.

TPreston Posted November 20, Note Some applications may not support the use of the Run as command.

You may not be able to start an application, MMC console, or Control Panel tool from a network location by using the Run as command if the credentials that are used to connect to the network share are different from those used to start the application. The credentials that are used to run the application may not permit you access to the same network share.

You can also use the Run as command from the command line. For more information, select Start , and then select Run. In the Open box type cmd, and then select OK. In the example above, we ran the Windows 10 command prompt as Administrator. Running the command prompt as Administrator allows you to run commands that change or edit your system files.

For example, in the Administrator command prompt, you can successfully run the sfc command System File Checker. You should now be able to execute the command you were trying to run previously when you received the error message. With administrative rights activated, the command should execute successfully.

To configure most program shortcuts to always run the program as Administrator, follow the steps below. If the program icon is in the Start menu, you need to right-click the icon and select Open file location. Then begin with the step above.
