When you start an application on Windows 11, it begins with standard privileges by default. If you regularly open an app as an admin, you can hop those additional steps by making it constantly open with admin rights.
How to Run an App with Admin Rights by Default on Windows 11
First, you’ll need to find the app’s executable file you need to open with admin privileges constantly. This could be the File in your File Explorer, or it could be the app’s shortcut on your Windows 11 desktop.
Once you’ve found the File, right-click it to reveal its context menu. Next, click “Properties,” or you can press Alt+Enter to launch it quickly.
Once you do so, the app’s Properties menu will appear. If you began the app’s Properties menu from the EXE file in File Explorer, you’d be in the General tab. If you started it from the desktop shortcut, you’d be in the shortcut tab.
Either way, click the “Compatibility” tab. Once you get to the Compatibility tab, scroll down a bit and click “Change settings for all users”.
Next, check the box next to “Run this Program as an Administrator,” click “Apply” to apply changes, and then click “OK” to close the window.
Now, the next time you open the program, it will begin with admin rights by default.
Using this point can conserve a lot of time and energy in the long run. If you’re running many processes on your device and need to see which ones are running with admin privileges quickly, you can do that using Task Manager.
