SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability to revert the "Run This Program As An Administrator" setting for Visual Studio 2012 (VS2012) after losing administrative rights on a server. The user initially set this option in the Compatibility tab of the devenv.exe properties, which subsequently disabled the checkbox when administrative rights were revoked. The issue arises from the lack of access to modify these settings without admin privileges, leading to a request for solutions to uncheck the option.

I am on a client machine but I have admin rights to check and uncheck any applications that need to be run as an administrator. Now I open VS2012 devenv.exe properties page and choose Compatibility tab and check Run This Program As An Administrator. So everytime I run the program, it runs in administrative mode.

Then I turn off my current administrator rights from the server machine. I can not run the program anymore as it always asks for username and password. I would like to know how can I uncheck what I have checked ? Because the Compatibility tab has disabled my checkbox "Run This Program As An Administrator".

I don't quite understand what this means. Exactly what operating systems are each machine running, and what happened on the server--precisely?
