My stepson has a PC without Admin rights (He’ll install all kinds of free software and no doubt get a virus if he has full control). He’s just started to use MSI Afterburner to record in game footage for YouTube, the only trouble is MSI Afterburner asks for the Admin password every time it runs, is there a way to run it without entering the password each time?
Cheers

You could create a batch file that calls the exe as another user (like a runas command - though runas insists on you entering your password every time.)

Have a look at RunasSpc
http://www.robotronic.de/guidance.html

You can call an exe, as another user (though it will still show on the users desktop) and provide all the login credentials to run said appllication that can also be encrypted within the command.

Trying to get this to autostart on my son's account (non-admin) and it is a nightmare - can't find a single solution that works!

This thread is ancient
But anyway
Try task scheduler to make an elevated shortcut run
Use run task at startup
And select run with highest privileges
 
I have carried out the following:

opened task scheduler as admin and created a task
security options:
unable to change user to my son's account so left as admin user
set "run whether user is logged on or not"
"run with the highest privileges"
"configure for windows 10"
triggers: begin task "at log on"
specific user: "son's account"

Afterburner does start up in the background on my son's standard account but it doesn't show up on the taskbar and therefore you can't access the OSD.
