How do I get something to stop running as administrator?

Hi, You right-click the .exe file, go to properties, then click on the “shortcut” tab and click on “advanced” – then uncheck “run as administrator“.

How do I get an app to stop asking for administrator permission?

Go to the System and Security group of settings, click Security & Maintenance and expand the options under Security. Scroll down until you see the Windows SmartScreen section. Click ‘Change settings’ under it. You will need admin rights to make these changes.
