Bypass UAC for an application (Win10) - Forum Powa - 04/06/2016 22:49
In my defence, I only spelt power that way as I'd run out of characters for the title. Anyhoo....
I have an application (Fruity Loops FWIW) that requires admin access to run on Windows 10. I want miniWishy to be able to use it with his standard user account. I don't want him to have admin access or know the admin password and I don't want to disable UAC completely. Is there any simple way to do this?
I've seen (but not tried) this method but it's for Vista and uses a no longer supported tool. There reference to the Windows 10 ADK in the previous link but I don't know if this would do the same thing as the Vista workaround.
I'm more than willing to try it (it being the method in the previous paragraph) but would like to know if anyone who really knows what they're doing (as oppose to just randomly trying things that pop up on Google until they work like me!) has any better ideas before I do.
