[Solved] Shortcuts from start to 'Run as administrator' don't work (Win 8.1 x64)
jraju:
Hi, Did you try crl shift and enter. Just place the cursor on the program icon and then do this. This should work. It has worked for me
Boggin:
I'd misunderstood your opening post in thinking it was desktop icons that weren't working but this article explains how to run programs as an admin in Win 8 http://www.intowindows.com/run-program-as-administrator-in-windows-8/ which also suggests CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER for which you may also need to be in Metro.
George:
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER opens the programs as normal, just like simple double click.
Anyway, I can run anything as administrator from the exe files, if no idea to get the right-menu item alive, let's leave it.
Thank you both.

Did you read the article I'd linked ?
George:
I had read the article you, Boggin linked. That is about how to run a program as administrator in Windows 8 when everything is working fine. I can get the right-menu containing 'Run as Administrator' both from start and at the respective exe files. This is supposed to work the same in both cases. In my case it does at the exe, does not from the start menu. My issue is how to make it run in the latter case.
What you quoted from me is, of course, not what is in the article. That's my problem, my system malfunctions.
