To run programs as administrator, you can use Windows' own functions: 1. Right-click the menu to select "Run as administrator", which is suitable for temporary privilege hike scenarios; 2. Create a shortcut and check "Run as administrator" to achieve automatic privilege hike start; 3. Use the task scheduler to configure automated tasks, suitable for running programs that require permissions on a scheduled or background basis, pay attention to setting details such as path changes and permission checks.

Sometimes when running some programs, ordinary permissions are not enough, and the system will prompt you to require administrator permissions. At this time, you need to run this application as an administrator. The focus is on leveraging Windows-owned features to increase permissions, rather than relying on third-party tools.

Right-click the menu directly "Run as administrator"

This is the most common and fastest way. Find the program icon you want to run in the desktop, Start menu, or File Explorer, right-click it , and select Run as Administrator.

• Applicable to temporary hikes
• Need to operate manually every time
• If you are not sure if you need administrator permissions, you can try this method first

This is not convenient if you often want to run a program and want it to start automatically as an administrator every time.

Create shortcuts and set them to always run as administrator

If you want a program to run automatically as an administrator every time, you can create a shortcut and modify its properties:

1. Right-click on the program icon → “Create Shortcut”
2. Right-click the newly created shortcut → "Properties"
3. Switch to the Shortcuts tab → Click Advanced
4. Check "Run as administrator" → OK to save

In this way, every time you open the program through this shortcut, it will automatically start with administrator privileges. Suitable for some commonly used maintenance software, such as command line tools, registry editor, etc.

Note: If the original program path changes, the shortcut may fail and need to be reset.

Automation using task scheduler (advanced)

For more complex requirements, such as running a program regularly and having administrator privileges, you can use the task scheduler to complete:

1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Click "Create Basic Task"
3. Set trigger conditions (such as daily, login, etc.)
4. Action Select "Start Program"
5. Browse and select the app you want to run
6. Check "Run whether the user is logged in or not" and "Use the highest permissions" in the General tab

This method is suitable for users with a certain technical foundation and is often used for the automated operation of backend services or scripts.

Basically these are the methods. Just choose the right method according to your usage frequency and scenario. The areas that are not complicated but easily overlooked are the settings of shortcuts and the permission configuration of task planning.
