Good afternoon,

I made a program (exe) but this program only works if I have administrator rights. How can I solve this?

Best regards

What I have tried:

If I turn off user account control it works but I prefer not to.

It means your program is requesting admin rights in its manifest. So change the manifest so it only needs normal access.

By default, applications always run in standard user mode (this is not admin mode). You must have some code making it so. Is entire code yours or you added somehting related?
