How do I remove/stop Visual Studio 2013 from running as Administrator?

Question

When I click on the Visual Studio 2013 icon, UAC asks me if I want to run it as Administrator and, when I click OK, it works. Now I need to restore the default behavior. How do I do it?

Answer 1

I found that all of my large programs were running as administrator. To fix this, go to User Accounts in Control panel. Choose Change User Account Control settings. My settings were set to the lowest level; I changed to the second from top, Default-Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer. Press OK. Restart your computer, and the programs should no longer be opening as administrator.

Answer 2

You actually need to go into the Properties for the program. Under Advanced, there's a checkbox that says "run as administrator".
