Windows 10: Run programs as administrator

In order for certain programs to be able to access your system, you have to run them under Windows 10 as administrator. We'll show you how it works.

Run programs and games on Windows 10 as administrator

1. In Windows 10, right-click the exe file or a shortcut of the desired program.
2. Select the entry "Run as administrator" and confirm the warning of the user control panel with "Yes".
3. Tip: If you always want to start the program as Admin, right-click on the program shortcut and select "Properties". In the "Compatibility" tab, activate the "Run program as administrator" option and then save the changes with "Ok".

If you prefer to use apps instead of programs, you can pin them to the start menu.
