Running app as administrator without prompt
Posted by gluetheknot@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 12 comments
So I have found multiple ways to do it but the issue is that i want to run it from anywhere e.g for Recuva when i open it from the right click menu, it shows UAC but I want it to run straight as admin (so not the invoker commands people say) without the prompt

You shouldn't be looking for ways to disable UAC prompts. That is not advisable.
However, you can technically circumvent the UAC prompt by using an Endpoint Privilege Manager. They help you run apps with admin rights through policies. You will create a policy to allow users to elevate a specific app with admin rights on specific computers.
These users will be able to run the app with elevated rights without going through UAC prompts.

But the only thing you need to hear.

There is a way to turn off UAC and it is officially documented. I'm not going to spell out instructions here to do something extremely inadvisable. Every security baseline or standard in the world for a Windows PC is going to tell you not to do this.

figure out what permissions the users need to run the program. they most likely don't need administrator over the entire computer.
