This solution should only be used if Flabetvibes solution does not work.

  1. Navigate to the Visual Studio install folder (commonly C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\)

  2. Right-click devenv.exe > Properties

  3. Go to the Security tab and click Advanced button.

  4. Click on Change right beside the owner (the current owner may be "Administrators").

  5. Enter your Windows user name into the text area and click Check Names.

  6. If found, click OK and Apply etc.

Visual Studio should now start in normal mode (without "Administrator").

This has to be repeated every time a new update is installed.

I supposed you are running Visual Studio 2010 under a Windows system, then the solution might be:

  1. Right click on the Visual Studio icon

  2. Choose Properties

  3. Select the Compatibility tab

  4. Unchecked Run this program as an administrator inside the Privilege Level group box

Hope this idea is useful.
