• Feb 22, 2013 - Software Updates: application updaters require administrator rights in. Application and user privilege management enables companies to.

My computer says that I need to be the administrator [to perform a task], but I already am! Any ideas as to what is happening?

Why is Windows asking for system administrator privileges for running executables with “install” in their name? But Windows 7 always pops up a dialog asking the user to provide administrator privileges when this command is invoked from the command prompt. Do I really need to “run as administrator” when executing an external.

Sure.

You’re not the administrator. Not really.

Oh, sure, you may think you’re the administrator. Windows may have even lead you to believe you’re the administrator.

However, a security feature in Windows, on by default, means you’re not the administrator.

But you can be.

Administrator … but not

UAC [User Account Control]

UAC is an acronym for User Account Control (or, depending on who you talk to, User Access Control).
User Account Control is a feature added to Windows Vista (and made less annoying in Windows 7) that prompts the user for confirmation or the administrator password when something potentially system-altering or malicious is about to take place.

'>UAC, or User Account Control, is an important security feature. By default, your login account — even if it’s an “administrator” account — doesn’t actually run with administrative privileges.

Why? Because when you actually run with administrative privileges, any programs you run also have full administrative privileges.

Including malware [malicious software]

Malware is short for malicious software. Malware is a kind of catchall phrase that encompasses pretty much any kind of software that could cause harm to your data or your machine.

Think of it as “administrator-capable”

The difference between having what you might consider a “normal” account and what I’ll refer to as an “administrator-capable” account is what happens when you do something that requires administrative access.

If your account is administrator-capable, you’ll get the familiar “UAC” prompt, to which you need only respond Yes or No.

Accounts that are not administrator-capable have to enter the administrator password to prove the user is authorized to do something requiring administrative privileges.

That’s really the only difference: whether or not you’re asked for a password when the UAC prompt appears. In most other respects, all accounts (other than the hidden account actually called “Administrator”1), are effectively limited user accounts (LUA).

The account you create when you set up your system is, by default, administrator-capable.

Programs that need administrative access

Normally, when a program needs administrative access to perform some function, there are two things Windows can do: it can deny the request, or it can ask you for permission (via UAC). Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to ask, which means that the request is denied and the program fails to perform whatever task it was attempting.

The solution is to run the program as administrator. Because your account is administrator-capable, you can run programs with full administrative privileges. Many programs have this option; I’ll use Windows Command Prompt as an example to show you how to run a program with full administrative privileges.

Locate the Windows Command Prompt icon in the Windows Start Menu, and right-click on it. If present in the resulting sub-menu, click on More. You should now see a “Run as administrator” option.

Click on that and you’ll get the UAC prompt, confirming you want to run the program “as” administrator.

If there’s no “Run as administrator”

Not all programs have a “Run as administrator” option on their Start Menu or other shortcuts. You can still attempt to run a program as administrator using Task Manager.

Run Task Manager (right-click on the clock and click on Task Manager). Then click on the File menu, Run new task item. You’ll be prompted to enter a task to run, along with a checkbox that lets you run it as administrator.

You need to know the name of the program’s file (calc, in the example above), or use the Browse… button to locate the program.

Note: Windows File Explorer is a special beast. It’s always running, as it provides the Windows Taskbar and Start menu. As a result, attempting to run it again, with or without administrative privileges, will open a new Explorer window, but may not actually start a new copy, and may not cause that new copy to run as administrator.

Cautions

You should think twice before running programs as administrator. There should always be a clear reason to do so.

If you run your mail, browser, word processing program, or instant messaging client as administrator, those programs will be able to do anything. That includes running malware, such as emailed attachments, that they “invite” onto your system. Essentially, you’ll have completely subverted the security measures that UAC puts into place.

In addition, Windows treats file ownership and security differently depending on each user’s permissions and whether you have full administrative privileges. In other words, files you create while running a program with full administrative privileges might not be accessible later when you run normally, without those privileges.

In short, UAC security is there for an important reason, and helps keep your machine safe from many forms of malware and exploits. Use “Run as administrator” with caution, and only when you’re sure you need it. Close the program as soon as you no longer need those extra capabilities.

In Microsoft Windows, when you try to run a program or perform an operation that requires Administrator privileges, a UAC prompt requires your permission to proceed.

Similarly, you may encounter a permissions error when trying to run commands in a Command Prompt window that require Administrator privileges. These errors happen because UAC blocks the Command Prompt from running Administrator commands unless you run the Command Prompt as Administrator.

UAC acts as a safeguard, requiring your explicit permission to run any software that can modify the Windows system.

On this page, we discuss how to run programs as an Administrator, and how to modify the behavior of UAC, or disable it entirely.

Running programs as Administrator

If a program requires Administrator privileges to perform certain functions, you need to run the program as Administrator.

To run a program as Administrator in Windows 10, right-click the icon in your Start menu and select Run as administrator.

For example, in the image below, we are running the Windows 10 command prompt as administrator. We'll discuss this more in the next section.

If you right-click a shortcut in your Start menu, and it does not have the Run as administrator option, that function is not available for that program.

When you receive the UAC prompt confirming that you want to grant privileges, click Yes.

Running commands as Administrator

In the example above, we ran the Windows 10 command prompt as Administrator. We did this by clicking Start menu > All apps > Windows System, then right-clicking Command Prompt > Run as administrator.

Running the command prompt as Administrator allows you to run commands that change or edit your system files. For example, in the Administrator command prompt, you can successfully run the sfc command (System File Checker).

You should now be able to execute the command you were trying to run previously when you received the error message. With administrative rights activated, the command should execute successfully.

Configuring a shortcut to always run a program as Administrator

To configure most program shortcuts to always run the program as Administrator, follow the steps below. Download game the punisher 1 for iso.

1. Locate the program shortcut, right-click on the shortcut and select Properties.

Note

If the program icon is in the Start menu, you will first need to right-click the icon and select Open file location. Then begin with the step above.

2. On the Properties window, click on the Compatibility tab.
3. Check the box for Run this program as an administrator and click OK to save the shortcut settings change.

If you do not see a Compatibility tab in the Properties window for a program shortcut, follow the steps below instead to always run the program as Administrator.

1. Repeat step 1 above to access the Properties window for the program shortcut.
2. On the Properties window, click on the Shortcut tab.
3. Click the Advanced button.
4. On the Advanced Properties window, check the box for Run as administrator and click OK.
5. Click OK on the main Properties window to save the shortcut settings change.
