Last updated
Ever wondered how you can make Genshin Impact not run as an administrator on your computer? You’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive into how you can enjoy your favorite game without needing those extra admin permissions.
Quick Steps to Stop Genshin Impact Running as Administrator
To stop Genshin Impact from running as administrator every time, you’ll need to adjust its properties. Right-click on the Genshin Impact shortcut on your desktop, or find the game’s executable file in its installation folder, then click on ‘Properties’.
Under the ‘Compatibility’ tab, you will see an option that says ‘Run this program as an administrator’. Make sure this box is unchecked. Click ‘Apply’, then ‘OK’ to save your changes. That’s it! Now, Genshin Impact will open like any other program, without requiring admin rights.
Why This Matters for Genshin Impact Players
Running games with admin rights when it’s not necessary can pose security risks and might be inconvenient. Adjusting this setting for Genshin Impact ensures you’re playing safely and smoothly. This tweak is especially useful if you’re not the sole user of the computer or if you’re keen on keeping your system secure.
