Some of our Windows 10 tips involve tweaking the Registry (for example, this tip on how to get rid of default cloud service icons in File Explorer) or running a few lines of code in the Command Prompt or the Windows PowerShell.

When you attempt to run a program elevated by right-clicking on it and clicking Run as administrator, nothing may happen. However, programs that run elevated by default (without manually needing to start elevated), show up the User Account Control (UAC) dialog and start correctly.

If you are trying to use the Run as administrator context menu option in Windows 10 but find that it is not working or opening the program with administrator privilege, then you may need to carry out a few things.

If you're beyond basic Windows 10 customization -- and comfortable working in the Registry or the Command Prompt -- you've probably noticed that you can't run programs as an administrator by default. Instead, you have to right-click on the shortcut in the Start menu, click Run as administrator, and then click Yes when the User Account Control (UAC) window pops up. This is the case even if you have an administrator's account. It's a minor inconvenience, but if you're in the middle of adjusting your system, it can get pretty annoying.
