How to set apps to always run as an administrator on Windows 10

.

On Windows 10, sometimes you have to run programs as an administrator to access advanced functionalities and change system settings. For instance, if you work with Command Prompt or PowerShell, you may need to run them with elevated privileges to execute most commands.

If you use applications that require elevation frequently, you've probably noticed that they don't run with the highest privileges by default. Instead, you must access the right-click context menu or use other methods to run the program as an administrator. It's not a complicated process, but if it's an app that you use regularly, the extra steps can get in the way pretty quickly.
