Are you logged in with a local admin account? Perhaps that is fooling UAC?

I brought it down one notch to match your setting, and rebooted, but double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop still just opens the app directly, no asking for creds. Shift-right-click does work, but I really don't want to have to do that every time. In Win7, I would double-click the icon, and UAC/Viewfinity would ask for credentials. I thought all I did was go into Advanced for the shortcut and check the Run as Administrator box, but that's not working for me now.

I just click and it asks. Mine is set to 'Always notify, do not dim'.

I did not have to use the runas command in the shortcut to make this happen. Now, in Win 10, I can't for the life of me get this working. If I go to the Advanced button in the shortcut, and choose Run as Administrator, nothing happens. The tool opens using my logged in credentials, not prompting me for my admin creds. If I do put in the runas command, I end up having to enter my credentials twice, once for my privilege elevation software, once in a command window that opens up. Anyone know of a better way of doing this?
