this simply tells the app not to run as admin and instead whatever the current user is. Some programs need to do admin privilege tasks and may install improperly/not work as expected. Additionally, a lot of apps will have multiple admin prompts. This isn't privesc but it can be helpful. Always ensure youre allowed to be installing this and if youre unsure, try to contact your network administrator instead of doing sketchy stuff on the schools computer

This can be handy for apps that require admin rights just to start, I had a similar script for those to allow users to open the app without making them local admins, but some apps are weird, definitely gonna give this one a try.
This is a useful thing not only for people who do not have admin access, but also for people who do not want give the app the admin access. Very useful, thank you.
Be warned also that in modern enterprise corporate workplaces, your computer will have end user experience monitoring agents installed as part of device management practices. The admins will know if you install or even just use software not authorised for the enterprise environment. In many workplaces this can lead to disciplinary action for breach of corporate IT policies.

Fortunatelly, this will crash as soon as the executable tries to access some admin only area ie. program files, registry, system32, etc. It can help when the installer is old or some idiot compiled it, but usually the installer asks for the admin priviledge exactly because the soft needs accessing those protected areas to work properly.
very handy most of the times. It does not work however, with programs that require high level authorizations or require the admin password to be inserted more than one time
Handy to install apps that *think* they need admin access but actually end up polluting your system with those admin rights.
Now show a follow up video of it working post install. There's many dependencies (run-time installers) that are bundled which require admin rights that will cause the app to break if they're not installed correctly.
Running as System, Does the work. Ever heard why windows update is still able to update our computer even without administrator knowing. It fully automates how the windows update do, However you can still switch it manually. But the trick is very simple, it starts with the recovery boot cmd... It authorizes you to become a system user immediately since it is a recovery boot OS. Unless you encrypt the hard drive with bitlocker then it is truly impossible to install any applications without the password for the drive.

I remember at an internship one of our "teachers" wanted to unwrap an archived file that I've had on my work laptop. Funny enough, the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC didn't even have the basic windows winrar (forgot its name, I'm always using 7zip). So I've just used the portable version of 7Zip, bypassing the admin rights to install it (and you can do that with pretty much all of the "light" versions or portable versions of an installer). Sadly your method won't work, as someone has stated below, since it will probably still need the admin rights.

WinRAR is actually not a Microsoft product and it's a paid product (there is a free evaluation license). 7-Zip is actually GOATed because it's completely free and can do everything you really need it to, although tbch there is no practical reason to not just use a normal .zip or .tar.gz file for most normal use cases.

I’ve been waiting for this video for months
If I was admin, I would actually prefer this method of installation of unofficial software - it will install and run with the current, unprivileged user's permissions. So if it's not maintained and becomes vulnerable, it would eventually compromise this user's profile, but not the whole system. I also consider this method to install software on my PC. There is absolutely no reason for the most of it to have system administrator privileges to install and run. It's a major security flaw of Windows and software for Windows.

This is handy if you need an app that doesn't really need admin rights to run, but wants to write some (optional) libraries in your system folder. Those apps usually refuse to run or install, but like this, you can basically made a portable-ish version of the app. That said, lots of apps installed like this will have random errors or outright crash, but others will work fine. I remember getting grounded years ago and my dad uninstalled the online game I was using...well, the program needed write access to the programs folder, which is something a normal user cannot do, also to install it wanted to write some windows library so I couldn't do it myself. But guess what, I had a backup of the folder, and slapped it into my documents, it was able to run without admin rights, the updater also worked fine as well. I also remember lots of video converter programs I couldn't fully install, but somehow worked anyway with the "portable trick"
Chrome has this built in to it kind of..... If you try to run the setup it'll prompt for admin rights. However it you don't have admin rights it'll just install to the user directory which does not require elevated rights......

Nice Tutorial, but boss I have a doubt, How to uninstall a app without admin rights?
Don't do it guys. Me and my friend reinstalled Windows on our school computers, installed a graphics card and installed "unauthorized software" (Fortnite, a vpn and a RAT). We got a written warning. Not for reinstalling Windows but for installing the software. Even though they didn't fins the RAT they told us that if we do anything like that again we will get suspended. The only reason we didn't get suspended was because i bluffed and said that i could and was willing to stay after school to fix it. They didn't want our help but appreciated the offer. It's NOT worth the risk🙏🙏🙏

What about getting the internet passcode but you can’t see it cuz you need the username and password for admin
What about if you want to add a printer or you want to put a static IP instead of the DHCP? That would help me in my work.
Because of things like this, and the fact that a lot of programs install to AppData and do not need admin priv, I implemented a software restriction policy. Now programs cannot run from any folder except a specific on on the C drive, and that folder requires admin rights to even copy anything to it. The life of a sys admin at a high school, it is great.

If you're talking about Steam.exe specifically, its because Steam wants to install prerequisites which also need admin privs. .net, c++ etc. In this scenario you can use the same method to install prerequisites by downloading them and installing them manually. However, with steam, you still wont be able to launch some games after install because even with prerequisites installed, the "first run" script on a new game still wants to install them. In this scenario, you can often launch the directly from the game folder and it will still run through steam but not execute the first run script. But again, it doesnt always work.
Thats a good one!

Correct. The best way to do this is to create a portable version of the app that can run from a USB drive or a folder in your /documents folder. However, that won't work for programs that need to make changes to drivers or the registry.

This just prevents the User Account Control (UAC) prompt from appearing when launching an application without elevating to administrator rights and doesn’t provide any additional access beyond what the user already has. RunAsInvoker is safe because it doesn’t elevate privileges without authorization and to perform administrative tasks, you’ll still need to authenticate as an administrator.

Can anyone actually believe that "admin permission" does not mean "admin permission"? xDD

setting the COMPAT_LAYER variable to RunAsInvoker does not grant administrator privileges to a program, it only suppresses the UAC prompt that would otherwise appear. The program still runs with the same permissions as the user who launched it12

Yes, but you would need to run that bat file some how. In order to bypass the security you have in place, the malware would have to be pretty advanced. Unless you are expecting to be targeted from an APT, then I would not worry about it. Use safe practices on the internet and know what you are running before you put in that password and you are all set. Good on you for actually using these security features, most people don't.

Yikes, can anyone confirm that this would work on a domain environment? You had me a little nervous for a moment - however I think we are good here (I am a Network Engineer) - our corporate GPO is set to disable local admin every time it runs - (every 15minutes) and no one but a "domain admin" can elevate to install an exe. So not unless we run a script to elevate local admin from our RMM tool would a local admin have the ability to do this - and the next time the GPO runs, it turns back off. Also we have MFA so every single time I elevate as a domain admin I have to use a ubikey or MFA code.
