How to lets a Standard User Run an Application as Administrator

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to lets a standard user run an application as administrator on Windows 10/11

Allow a standard domain user account to run an application as local administrator. Create a shortcut that uses the runas command with the savecred switch, which saves the local admin password. NOTE: Running an application as a local admin could cause unwanted changes to your environment. Verify that you have authority to do so. Be careful.

Step 1: Enable the built-in Administrator account

Search for Command Prompt in the Start menu, right-click the Command Prompt shortcut, and select Run as administrator
Run in the elevated Command Prompt

Step 2: Create a password for the Administrator account

Open the Control Panel, select User Accounts and Family Safety, and select User Accounts. Click the Manage another account link in the User Accounts window

Step 3: Create the Shortcut

Right-click the desktop (or elsewhere), point to New, and select Shortcut.
Enter into the box that appears. Replace Computer Name with the name of your computer and C:\Path\To\Program.exe with the full path of the program you want to run.

Step 4: Customize your shortcut

Enter a name for the shortcut. To select an icon for your new shortcut, right-click it and select Properties. Click the Change Icon button in the Properties window.

Step 5: Save Credentials

The first time you double-click your shortcut, you’ll be prompted to enter the Administrator account’s password, which you created earlier. This password will be saved – the next time you double-click the shortcut, the application will launch as Administrator without asking you for a password.
