Configuring a program to run as "Administrator" by default - HowTo?

[stockhausen]

I have installed BleachBit on my system.
Every time I invoke it I am asked whether I want to "Allow this app to make changes to my device".
I do, that is why I ran it.
How can I stop Windows 10 asking this question - for this particular application specifically?

As it happens, if I say "NO", it still runs - which is odd

It runs because it's running as non elevated privileges. It's asking you because you need to tell it to open "Yes" in elevated mode. You can turn this off completely but it's not advised.

You can configure it to run as admin by right clicking the shortcut > advanced > run as administrator.

Not sure if that actually disables the prompt though.

That prompt doesn't necessarily stop the program running but it won't be able to make certain system calls and/or access certain data without those permissions so not all features such as updates will work.

Thanks for that.

As it happens, the actions are different (reduced) if you answer "No". Basically I just want BleachBit to go ahead and run assuming the response "Yes".

Turn off UAC then.
