How to set apps to always run as administrator on Windows 10 or Windows 11

How do you open an app to “run as administrator” on Windows 11? Previously, we showed you how to open PowerShell to run it as an administrator, which is required to run elevated application commands on Windows 11.

By default, Windows does not open applications with the highest privileges. If you use this application regularly and need the application to run with elevated privileges, it might be a good idea to change the application to always run as administrator to make things more convenient for you.

Running apps as an administrator just means you are running the app with elevated privileges. An administrator refers to someone who can make changes to a PC that affect other users of that PC.
