how do I create a shortcut that runs Visual Studio with Administrator rights?
Actually I have to navigate to the Visual Studio start menu folder, click on the icon with the right mous button and choose "Run as Administrator".

With Windows 11, you can also hold down Ctrl + Shift before clicking on the chosen program in the Start menu, while right-clicking on a shortcut on the desktop will provide an instant option to "Run as administrator".
Open Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio > type cd XXXX (replace XXXX with the path for example, for VS 2019 Community, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE ) > press Enter > type VSIXInstaller.exe > press Enter > check if the extension has been installed.
Right click your executable, go to Properties > Compatibility and check the 'Run this program as admin' box.
You can do nearly everything in the Visual Studio IDE as a normal user, but, you need administrator permissions to complete the following tasks: Installing Visual Studio.
Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties. On the Shortcut tab, click the Advanced button (bottom right). Check the Run As Administrator box.
