Do you want the app to always run with administrator rights, bypass UAC prompts, or trust it so UAC doesn't ask every time?\n\nHere are several interpretations and how to do each in Windows 11. Pick the one that best matches what you're trying to do.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Always run an app as administrator\n\nIf you want a desktop or start menu app to launch automatically with elevated privileges (so UAC prompts show every time), you can:\n\n- Find the app\u2019s **shortcut** (on desktop or Start Menu), or the `.exe` file in File Explorer.  \n- Right-click \u2192 Properties \u2192 Compatibility tab \u2192 check **Run this program as an administrator**. Apply & OK. ([techbaked.com](https://techbaked.com/always-run-apps-administrator-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Alternatively, right-click the shortcut \u2192 Properties \u2192 Shortcut tab \u2192 click **Advanced** \u2192 check **Run as administrator** \u2192 click OK \u2192 Apply. ([howtogeek.com](https://www.howtogeek.com/ways-to-run-an-app-as-an-administrator-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Run an app as administrator just one time\n\nIf you just want to elevate one run:\n\n- Right-click the app (in Start Menu, desktop, or in File Explorer) \u2192 select **Run as administrator**. UAC prompt appears. ([howtogeek.com](https://www.howtogeek.com/ways-to-run-an-app-as-an-administrator-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If using the Run dialog (Win + R), enter the app\u2019s name (or path), then press **Ctrl + Shift + Enter** instead of Enter. That launches it elevated. ([howtogeek.com](https://www.howtogeek.com/ways-to-run-an-app-as-an-administrator-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Always run without seeing the UAC prompt\n\nIf you want the app to run elevated but *without* being asked by UAC every time, that\u2019s trickier. This generally requires Task Scheduler with a special setup:\n\n- Open Task Scheduler \u2192 Create Task \u2192 name it \u2192 check **Run with highest privileges**. ([techbaked.com](https://techbaked.com/always-run-apps-administrator-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In the Actions tab, set it to launch the app\u2019s `.exe`.  \n- Create a shortcut to run the task (e.g., using `schtasks /run /tn \"YourTaskName\"`). Clicking that shortcut runs the app elevated without a UAC prompt. ([techbaked.com](https://techbaked.com/always-run-apps-administrator-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 4. Change UAC behavior (global settings)\n\nIf by \u201cadd\u201d you meant making UAC less intrusive overall:\n\n- Open **Control Panel** \u2192 *System and Security* \u2192 *Change User Account Control settings*. That opens a slider with levels of notification. Move it up or down depending on how often you want to get prompted. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/user-account-control-settings-d5b2046b-dcb8-54eb-f732-059f321afe18?utm_source=openai))  \n- Or use **Settings \u2192 Privacy & Security \u2192 For developers** (or via the system security settings) to adjust UAC and related policies.  \n- Or edit registry/group policy settings, e.g. `EnableLUA` or \u201cAdmin Approval Mode\u201d settings. ([elevenforum.com](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-user-account-control-uac-settings-in-windows-11.1523/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n\u26a0\ufe0f Disabling or lowering UAC too much weakens security. Always ensure you know what permissions you're granting and trust the app.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which case applies\u2014\u201calways run elevated,\u201d \u201cskip UAC prompts,\u201d etc.\u2014I can give you step-by-step for *your specific situation*."
