You can remove administrator permissions from an application in Windows 11 through its properties settings. Here's how:
-
Locate the Application Shortcut: Find the application shortcut, typically on your desktop or in the Start Menu.
-
Access the Context Menu: Right-click on the application shortcut.
-
Show More Options (If Necessary): If you see a simplified menu, click "Show more options" to reveal the classic context menu.
-
Open Properties: Select "Properties" from the context menu.
-
Navigate to the Compatibility Tab: In the Properties window, click on the "Compatibility" tab.
-
Uncheck the Administrator Privilege Setting: Under the "Settings" section, find the checkbox labeled "Run this program as an administrator." Uncheck this box.
-
Apply Changes: Click "Apply" to save the changes.
-
Confirm and Close: Click "OK" to close the Properties window.
Repeat for Other Applications: Repeat these steps for each application from which you want to remove administrator permissions.
By unchecking the "Run this program as an administrator" box, the application will now run with the user's standard permissions instead of requiring elevated privileges. This can enhance security and prevent unintended system changes.
