What you described is normal. It is a built-in protection mechanism of Windows 11 to prevent harmful programs or websites from making changes to the computer. You can choose to turn off this notification.
To turn it off: Control Panel - Security and Maintenance - Change User Account Control settings - Drag the slider to “Never notify”.
Is there a way to apply this change to a specific application rather than system-wide? I’ve come across a review noting that the issue was resolved following updates, after which the application launched without prompting for administrator access. I’m interested in whether such behavior can be configured manually on a per-app basis.
The User Account Control (UAC) settings in Windows cannot be configured for individual applications. The primary function of UAC is to protect the system from unauthorized changes by requiring user confirmation for each operation that requires administrative privileges. UAC settings apply to the entire operating system, not to specific applications.
With this setting you won’t get annoyed by the application prompt and still can use Windows Hello etc. Or you enable the “real” administrator account. But with that Windows Hello is not available.
