Always run a given program as an administrator in Windows 8.1 without prompt

I have set up a program to always run as an administrator using the Compatability setting in Properties, which is necessary as the program always require administrator rights. Is there a way to make so that the User Account Control prompt does not always pop up and require me to confirm that I want to run this as an administrator? I am on an administrator account. I know I can simply turn off all User Account Control notifications, but I would rather not do this for security purposes; rather, I just want UAC settings to remember the choice I made regarding running the program as an administrator but not prompt me to confirm it.

This is an example of what I want, but that was made for Windows 7 and I'm not sure how well it work in 8.1.


The Task Scheduler trick you mention still works fine in Windows 8.x. I use it daily. You can use it without any issues.


Open Windows PowerShell (open it as an Administrator) and Run below registry settings:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLUA" -Value "0"

Click here for a few options:

The first involves creating a link to a task you will create using task manager for the application. The task is set to launch immediately and with elevated privileges and the other solutions rely on 3rd party software.
