One of the application was recently installed on Windows 2012 Server, when I click on the short cut its gives an error message stating ” … has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem”.  Further, it gives options to check online for a solution and close the program or close the program.

To my surprise, it was found that the application opens by clicking on “Run as Administrator”. Later, clicking “Run as admin” every time was annoying. Hence, the application was set to run as administrator by default following the steps listed below:

Right click the program and select Properties

Under the compatibility tab, select Run this program as an administrator

Click Apply and OK

Thanks,
