How to run specific exe file as user privilege by Administrator account.

Question

I believe that the built-in account "Administrator" always runs a exe file as administrator privilege by default.
Now I have a tool which need to be launched as user privilege.
If the tool is launched as administrator the tool will exit immediately.
So I have to run the tool as user privilege.
Is there any way to run specific exe file as user privilege by built-in account "Administrator".

I use Windows Server 2019 Standard.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to running .exe with Administrator account.

You can use Run as command to run .exe with specific or Administrator user.

runas /user:ComputerName\Username /savecred "C:\path\to\file.exe"

Also you can try you can log on as the Run As account you can set the "run this program as administrator" flag on the properties / compatibility page. Then log on the secondary account and perform the shift click run as will open it as administrator.
