Hi, i am wanting to disable DEP for a particular program but i cant because it says I have to be administrator to do so even though I am. The options are shaded out meaning i cannot edit them. Please help me find a solution.

I found a way. I was looking on a website and it told me to use this code. "bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn" in command prompt while running it as administrator. I then had to restart my computer to set the changes. It then allowed me to change the options thanks for helping though.
