I have an application that needs to be run as administrator to function correctly. The account that needs to run this is a user account. I have found a number of discussions on how to do this and a lot have pointed to creating a shortcut akin to the below:


[COLOR=rgba(83, 90, 96, 1)]runas /user:Administrator /savecred "Path\To\Software.exe"[/COLOR]

When it is first run it requests the credentials as expected, I enter the correct details but then the application doesn't open. I re-run the shortcut and a cmd opens and closes very quickly.

Any further advise to allow a standard user to run an application as administrator without the user having to provide credentials?
