At first glance, this function seems very convenient and necessary, because its purpose is to increase the level of security and provide protection against malicious code. But sometimes this protection system tries so hard to protect your computer that you are unable to install the already proven software that you used before. This kind of flaw, or, so to speak, reworking with the system, greatly complicates its use and does not make it possible to fully use its functionality.

Why would a regular application need administrator rights?
After turning on for the first time, the computer prompts the owner to create several accounts. The main one has administrator rights, and this user can make any changes to the operation of the PC. But why does a harmless program or game need this kind of permission?
The answer to the question posed is simple: extended permissions are required if the program is installed on the system drive where OS files are stored. In such a situation, an ordinary user is prohibited from making changes to the logs and configuration, and therefore the software requests administrative rights.
Solving the problem in the home version of Ten
If you have the Home version of Ten on your device, you need to use Registry Editor or Command Prompt (to open a prohibited document through it) to solve the problem.
Disabling UAC using Registry Editor
Since the home version does not have an editor with policies, you need to turn off the check option through another system window - “Registry Editor”. In it we will deactivate the account control service (UAC):
- To open the “Registry Editor” we use the same “Run” window - write the regedit command in the “Open” line and execute it. We agree to make changes.
Paste the regedit command and click OK - First, let's create a copy of the registry just in case - this will be a precaution. If something goes wrong, you can always recover using the created file. Click on the “File” menu, and then on the export function.
Select the export option from the File menu - We give the file any name and save it in any folder - you can also use the “Desktop”.
Choose a name and location for the backup, and then save it - Expand the third directory in the left zone - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Open the SOFTWARE folder in it.
In the third branch, open the SOFTWARE directory - We launch nested blocks with the following parameters: Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Policies - System.
Go to the System folder - We find the EnableLUA entry in the final directory - double-click on it. In the gray box, set 0 as the value. Click OK and close all windows and interfaces. Reboot the PC and open the previously blocked file.
Change the value of the EnableLUA parameter - put 0 in the line - As in the case of the editor with policies, it is recommended that after successfully launching the file, return everything to its place - set the value 1 for the EnableLUA parameter in the editor.

Entering the full path to the file with its extension in the Command Line
This method is considered one of the safest, since it is designed for a single launch of a file on which the operating system has labeled it “Suspicious”:
- Call the black editor “Command Line” using one of the methods described in detail in the section about the corporate version of “tens”.
- Type the full path to the locked file in the console window. It is most convenient to place it first in the root folder of the system drive, so that you enter only c: \ before the name of the utility. Click on “Enter” after entering the correct directory.
Enter the directory of the blocked file in the console - If the file starts, leave the Command Prompt open until we finish working with the prohibited program.
Brief summary
To sum it up, all that remains is to choose the most appropriate method for bypassing passwords. As most experts believe, extreme measures such as using a registry or other non-standard actions can only be used in cases where the simplest solutions do not help. But the most acceptable option is to start the system with support for the command console and then disable the mandatory password requirement at login, as was shown in the corresponding section above.
The use of specialized programs seems somewhat unreasonable only for the reason that they all belong either to the class of viewers or to recovery utilities that help when passwords are lost. However, when booting from removable media, to quickly bypass all sorts of restrictions, it is best to use the Kon-Boot application, even though creating a flash drive using its built-in installer may seem somewhat complicated to some users. However, as mentioned above, there are quite a lot of such programs on the Internet for free download, and some utilities of this type can even be classified as professional or semi-professional tools. How advisable is it to use them? It all depends on the complexity of the original task and the preferences of the users themselves.
How to remove Windows 10 from running as administrator via the Start menu
We are talking specifically about a message requesting administrator rights. This is the easiest and fastest way to assign administrative rights to a program at startup. To perform this operation through the Start menu, you need:
In this case, the program will be launched as an administrator, if such a launch mode is provided. This method is relevant for applications located on the start screen.
Why is blocking needed?
Most often, such blocking of potentially unwanted software is a very necessary thing for an inexperienced user. Therefore, the protection actions in this case are completely justified and you should not disable it. Moreover, in the latest versions of Windows 10, security features are implemented in such a way that infecting your computer with malicious files is reduced to zero.
In order to protect the system from malicious code, driver signatures, various digital certificates, user account control and some other functions are used.
If the system suddenly prohibits and blocks the installation of a downloaded application, you should not immediately disable the protection measures. Better try to remember where you downloaded this file from. You may have downloaded this driver or any other program or utility from a dubious source whose pages are full of advertising. I have already told you more than once that you need to download files from the manufacturer’s official website or from trusted sources, such as my website. Here you can always be sure of the quality of the product.
If such a ban occurs, delete the downloaded file and try to download another one, but from the official website of the program manufacturer. If the exact same program is not on the manufacturer’s website or it turns out to be paid, then I want to say with confidence that you will be able to find an analogue of the application you need on the same website. If such an alternative option is not possible, then it is better to abandon this software altogether.
But, there are times when you downloaded a program or driver from the official website or a trusted source, but the Windows 10 operating system prohibits its installation and use.
Basically, this situation occurs with printer drivers, which, according to the operating system, have long been outdated and there is no point in using them. Since technical support has expired, any file will become dangerous for Windows 10.
But, in fact, a printer or any other device and program can work properly and efficiently.
The OS also blocks the installation and use of applications that have an expired installer certificate or an incorrect digital signature of the application.
Removing a forgotten password
If you need to restore lost access for Windows 7, it is better to use a special program. Windows Password Key helps disable, change, remove, bypass administrator and standard user code for Windows 7/8.1/8/XP/Vista.
Procedure steps:
- Download the key to USB, install and run it on another available laptop.
- Insert USB.
- Click "Record".
- Open the newly created USB on a locked computer.
- Set USB as the first device in BIOS. The PC will open the system via the reset disk.
- After downloading Windows Password Key, follow the prompts and reset the administrator code.
Recovery via bootable CD
Before changing the password on a computer with the Windows 7 operating system, create a bootable CD or USB with a reset code. Execution is carried out on an alternative working PC. They use these disks to turn on a locked computer and quickly regain control of the account.
To create, download the full version of PCUnlocker using the link provided in the order confirmation email. The downloaded file is a self-extracting zip archive. Once it is unpacked, an ISO image is created on CD or USB:
- Insert a blank CD or flash drive with a capacity of at least 1 GB into the computer.
- Download the ISO2Disc program and install it on an alternative PC.
- Open ISO2Disc.
- Click Browse to find the ISO image in the extracted files, then click Start Burn to create a bootable disk.
- Boot a locked PC from disk or USB.
- Check the screen and use the DELETE, F8 or F2 keys and enter the BIOS settings program.
- Use the arrows to select the BOOT tab and then change the boot disk priority.
- Install 1st Boot Device on CD/DVD-ROM.
- Press F10 to save changes.
- After booting from the disk, the computer will launch the operating system and then the PCUnlocker utility.
- By default, the program automatically detects the Windows SAM registry key and lists all local users.
- Select the one whose code you want to remove, and then click “Reset”.
Launch applications as a regular user
If you cannot get the administrator’s permission to grant you access rights, then in this case you can use the solution built into Windows. Let's use a software application that is built into the system. To do this, we need to do the following:
- Click on the Win+R keys and enter the combination in the window that appears: cmd and click on the OK button;
- We have a command line in which we need to enter the combination presented below. In this combination, User_Name is the user name, and Program_Name is the name of the software that you are going to install. After entering the command, press “Enter”.
runas /user:User_Name\administrator Program_Name.exe
It is quite possible that after this the system will require you to enter a password. In this case, you will need to enter it. Then we run the file and install the desired software.
How to view passwords for websites in browsers?
Finally, you can also bypass the Windows 7 password saved in the browser you are using. Any such program has a special section responsible for storing the required combinations.
For example, in the Opera browser, you can use the button to show all passwords in the security section, and then in a new window, when you hover over the site address, click the “Show” button (initially, all passwords will be presented as asterisks). Thus, the combination can be copied or recorded, and later used to access Internet pages and services.
Adding and removing accounts from the command line
Now a few more words about how to bypass the Windows 7 password on a laptop or desktop PC, which also involves using the command console. Only in this case, the method of adding a user is used, granting him administrative rights by including him in the appropriate group. Again, the console itself is called from the start menu, and then the following commands are sequentially entered and executed with the name and password parameters shown in the previous example (of course, without any punctuation at the end):
- net user NAME PASSWORD /add;
- net localgroup Administrators NAME /add;
- net localgroup user NAME /delete.
Password bypass in Windows 7, if you look at the commands themselves, is done by adding a new user (if necessary), adding the selected user to the “Administrators” group (in Russian-language systems, if the command does not work, you need to specify the name of the group in Russian) and deleting an existing user along with all his personal data, including passwords. With the third command, when starting the computer, you can even remove the administrator, and the system will not issue any restrictions on this matter.
How to remove Windows 10 from running as administrator via desktop shortcut
Shortcuts to various applications are placed on the desktop for convenient and quick launch. Through these elements you can control the launch of the application and the display of the request for administrative rights. To run programs with the appropriate rights or disable this feature, you need to perform several steps:
In this case, the selected software will always be launched with administrative rights.
