XDA Basics: How to run an app as an administrator on Windows 11
In Windows 11, just like previous versions of Windows before it, you can have different user accounts on the same PC. Some of these accounts can be administrator accounts, and others might just be regular accounts. That’s because some apps – particularly ones that can change important system files – sometimes require administrator permission to run or to make specific changes. Even if you have an administrator account, many times Windows 11 apps won’t run with administrator permissions by default, so as to prevent apps from making potentially harmful changes to your PC without your consent. For example, the Windows Terminal can run without administrator permissions, and some features can be used that way, but many of the things you can do with it do require you to run it as an administrator. Otherwise, they just won’t work. If you want to run an app as an administrator, here’s how you can do it. Running an app as an administrator once If you just want to run a specific app as an administrator occasionally, you can specifically ask it to run as an administrator whenever you need to. Doing this is very simple:
Always run an app in administrator mode For some apps, you may want to always run them as administrator, so it can get tedious to do the process above every time. If you want a specific app to always run as an administrator, you can make that happen, at least, for some apps. Here’s how:
Certain apps, such as the Windows Terminal we mentioned above, can’t be located in the File Explorer normally, but you can still set them to run as administrator from within the app itself. Many apps offer this option in their settings, but that will look different for each app. And that’s all you need to know about running Windows 11 apps as an administrator. As we’ve mentioned, this can enable certain features in some apps. but you’ll need an administrator account to do so. Speaking of things that require an administrator account, why not check out how to enable God Mode on Windows 11 to gain quick access to various system settings? And while we’re on the topic of accounts, we also have a guide on how to set up a child account on Windows 11. This can be very helpful if you have a PC you share with the rest of your family.
