How to prevent program from running as an Administrator [thus have it on the same lev

[Wineroz]

I have this very old audio editor [from 2003] than for not apparent reason runs itself as an Administrator. And this I know because I can see it under the

code:
Task Manager > Details > Elevated

And [long story short] apparently this causes problems with some other programs trying to cooperate with it. And If I change those others programs [including Winamp] to being run as elevated, then new problems show up - so it is not a workaround that I can really use



So my question is: how do I stop this audio editor from being elevated? So that I can retain combo of my audio related pieces of software fully working?



I have tried going to its EXE and turning for it ON & OFF [as it was set to OFF in the first place] the

code:
Properties > Compatibility > Settings > Run this program as an administrator

option, but it did not reset that EXE. Also renaming the EXE did not foul the operating system


I am using Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746

Easiest way is probably to remove it and reinstall. If it still asks for elevated privileges then it might be that it only functions at that level.

I had the same problem. A reinstall fixed it.

For what software did it work for you? And you over-installed it on already exiting installation of it - or did you first removed it?

For me installing over did not work - my Sony Sound Forge 7.0 is still elevated

I am still waiting for an answer
