How do I stop Visual Studio from running as administrator?

Writer Matthew Harrington

This morning I set the devenv.exe to run as administrator. We are now getting problems with TFS and want to stop the Visual Studio running as admin. However even though I have disabled all of the checkboxes markes 'run as administrator' on the devenv.exe when I start VS it always runs as administrator. How do I now turn this off?

Make sure when you change the run as admin, you change it for all users.

Right click on the icon and go to properties. After that just go to the Compatibility windows and in the Privilege Level un-check: "Run these program as administrator".
