I have the same on my Windows 10 1607 machine and it works as expected. I use a non-Administrator account and have a few shortcuts set with "Run as Administrator". I think that's the same as your scenario. It prompts me for alternate creds, I enter the ones for my separate Admin account and it works. I was curious to see if it would also work on a Windows 10 1703 box and it does.
The thing I use much more often is a batch file on my non-Admin desktop that runs the Command Prompt as Admin: runas /savecred /user:<domain>\<adminuser> cmd Then I can run anything as Administrator as long as I know the executable name and any arguments.
