How to Run any Program as Administrator by Default in Windows 11/10
There are many types of Apps that Windows support. But, For Only Win32 apps/software you can tweak some settings that will open them as administrators by default. Here are the ways to do it.
1. Locat the Original App/Program File
If you want, you can make any shortcuts of any programs run as admin by default. However, You may want to find the original program’s location as shortcuts may be temporary. Or Windows 11 or 10 start menu may not give you the option we are going to use.
In this case, I suggest you right-click on the shortcut and click on Open File Location. It will open the location in File Explorer where the original app/software file exists.
2. Tweak the Properties
After getting the file location, you can now proceed to the actual method. To enable run as administrator, you must go to the properties of that application. Here are the details.
- At first, Right-click on the .exe file and go to its properties.
- Now, Go to the compatibility tab and tick “Run this program as an administrator.”
- Then, Click on Apply and OK.

For some apps, there won’t be a compatibility tab. In this, case, you should follow an alternative way. Here are the details-
- At first, Make a shortcut of the program if there is no existing shortcut.
- Then, Go to its properties and go to the shortcut tab.
- Now, Click on Advanced and then tick Run as administrator.
