Windows 10: How do I always allow an app to make changes?

Question

Every time I launch a specific program, User Account Control pops up and asks me the following:

Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?

This question arises even when I run as admin.

Can I somehow add a publisher to an approved list, so I don't have to answer this question every time I launch a program from this publisher?

Answer 1

You can use UAC Trust Shortcut for this. Basically it creates a shortcut to the app you want to run that is somehow exempted from UAC. Kind of hacky, but it works.

Answer 2

Go to:

Control Panel\ User Accounts and Family Safety\ User Accounts

Click “Change User Account Control Settings”

You should now see a vertical slider that governs what UAC does. At the top should be “Always Notify,” and at the bottom should be “Never Notify.” Slide it all the way to the bottom if that the setting you desire, then reboot. Windows should never trouble you again.

N.B. This setting will apply to all apps, not just a single one.
