    What if the "compatibility" option is not appearing?

    I have a similar problem, need to remove the administrator permissions from my app but I have the "Run this programme as an administrator" checkbox in the compatibility tab.
    It is unchecked but the app always requires administrator permissions when started.

    Edition Windows 11 Pro
    Version 23H2
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22688.1000.0

    Any suggestions?

    I encountered the same problem after last night's Microsoft update. I followed your steps, but there is no compatibility tab after choosing the properties option in step 3.

    I only have one program. I tried that, unchecked the button from the desktop icon, went and unchecked (what I think is) the underlying program file. Restarted. Did not work. Still needs admin privs to open.
