Force Run App as Standard User when UAC is Disabled

5.00/5 (1 vote)

I have an app that must run as standard user. It run as standard user when UAC is enabled even admin is logged in. But when UAC is disabled, it runs as admin, which causes problems to the app structure. Is it possible to add something in app.manifest that force windows to run app as standard user like when UAC is enabled ?

Thank you.

This question does not make much sense. The purpose of UAC is to force applications to run as a standard user. User should not disable UAC and given that it is almost 1 decade that UAC was introduced, it should be very rare cases where it is disabled anyway. In pratice, it should not affect much your application (assuming the user don't change UAC enabling once set).

Do you mean always run your application as standard user rather than running as Admin irrespective of UAC Status?
