RELATED: How To Create a Shortcut That Lets a Standard User Run An Application as Administrator This is a pretty magical moment at the old Ask HTG column a reader wrote in asking us to solve their problem and ended up solving ours. We were just playing Evoland (fantastic game, by the way at least one play through should be required of anyone who didn’t grow up playing retro RPGs) and were shocked that it didn’t have properly implemented Xbox 360 controller support.
Now isn’t it a small world, problem-solving speaking that is. Is there anyway (either via Windows or via the Steam client) to for administrator mode?
Worse, if I launch it from outside the Steam client, I lose features like Steam chat and screenshots. If I launch the game from the Steam client… it doesn’t use the shortcut I made and I’m back to square one. That works if I manually start the game outside of the Steam client. Now here’s that extra layer of the problem. So then I searched How-To Geek to figure out how to do that, assuming you’d written about it ( you had) and lo and behold, it worked! If I launched the application using a standard shortcut that I’d toggled, using your trick, to run the program in adminsitrator mode, the Xbox 360 controller worked. At first I thought it didn’t support using the Xbox 360 controller but then after digging around in the Steam forums, I found out that it does in fact support the Xbox controller but only if run the program as an administrator. I’ve been playing this game through Steam, called Evoland. I have a problem and I even found a solution on your website, but an extra layer over the top of my problem prevents me from using your solution.
Running applications as a standard user without elevated privileges is good security practice, but what about those times where an application will only work if it is run as an administrator? Read on as we highlight how to easily and permanently set an application to run with administrative privileges.
