On Windows 10, the ability to run an app as administrator is an essential skill that every user should know because, by design, apps operate in user mode to prevent potential unwanted changes that may negatively affect the experience. However, some trusted programs may sometimes require elevated permissions, and understanding the steps to run them with appropriate permissions always comes in handy.
Whatever the reason it might be, Windows 10 includes several methods for quickly starting an app with elevated privileges, including the Start menu, File Explorer, Command Prompt, and more. However, it's important to note that this is only true for traditional desktop (Win32) programs, since modern apps through the Microsoft Store can't run elevated.
