How to Run Visual Studio as Administrator by defau

Question

Recently discovered that even while logged into my personal laptop as Admin, Visual Studio does not run in admin mode and you need to explicitly use Run As Admin

Is there a way to Make it run as Admin by default other than creating a shortcut etc. ?

Answer 1

I have always done it by creating a shortcut, which is not really much of a problem. I believe there is no way of doing it otherwise.

Answer 2

Follow these simple steps:

1. Right Click on "devenv.exe"
2. Click "Troubleshoot compatibility"
3. Click "Troubleshoot program" Check "The program requires additional permissions"
4. Click "Next"
5. Click "Test the program...". It should launch Visual Studio as Administrator
6. Click "Next"
7. Click "Yes, save these settings for this program"
8. Click "Close the troubleshooter"
9. Now the Visual Studio will always run as Administrator.
