How to disable User Account Control messages for certain application (always say "no" to any prompts)

Question

Greetings, respected Microsoft Q&A Community,

I would like to disable User Account Control (UAC) messages for certain application by always say "no" to any prompts that was emitted by specific application.

I am unable to find any information regarding this matter (except unacceptable suggestion to disable UAC completely on my system, that will be the same solution as always say "yes")

Here is the screenshot of the main reason why I need to always say "no" to any prompts:

I already tried the following solution proposed by Microsoft Community Support Specialist Rota (link to answers.microsoft.com):

Using Registry Editor (started with Administrator privileges), at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers create new String Value named C:\ProgramData\...\program.exe, with value RUNASINVOKER (I also tried ~ RUNASINVOKER) after that I reboot the PC (just in case).

Unfortunately, suggested solution doesn't have much effect on the issue, prompts still popups.

Prompt's program location (as stated after clicking on "more details", with all quotes preserved) looks like this: "C:\ProgramData\...\program.exe" --install --session=1324564315 --port=12121

Affected operating systems: Window 10 Pro (10.0.19042)

Thanks in advance for your help, Cheers!
