Any way to stop the recurring appearance of "don't run as administrator" dialogue box

@mach I solved this following the Zlo's post.

unfortunately I already had it set like that and it still pops up

@mach did you try to delete FAForever folder from programdata?
(or can move it if you care about content of it, like replays or custom strategic icons)

I just did but same thing happens when I open FAF afterwards

I store all data on disk D, so I succeeded on the pressing-the-OK-button step.

@Mach
Make sure to rightclick the shortcut (what you double click) and make sure the admin option is disabled:

[Mach]

it is unchecked

[Katharsas]

Ok then pls also check this one:

If that does not help then i would say your windows or FAF install has been fiddled with by some third party program (any "Tuning" programs or similar running?) in a bad way.

[Mach]

oh I dont have that tab, I was using the .exe itself, not a shortcut

[Katharsas]

Well, either your security permissions are messed up, or you have third party software messing something up.

On a default windows installation your applications never run as admin unless the app itself is reqeusting admin rights, which the FAF client does not do.
