Steam is running as a local pc administrator

[Umpa the Lumpa]

Hi, This message is on Icarus (menu) screen in red, "steam is running as a local pc administrator". But that is not true, i don´t have steam running under admin rights. On net i see many peoples with same problem, but not any resolves. What can i do with this ?
Thx for answers.

This is either Steam or Icarus itself is running 'as administrator'. In this mode there is a warning because there may be problems accessing files in the AppData directory.

Yes, but both apps Steam + Icarus dont have admin rights, i check it multiple times and ways. Then this message is not based on true conditions = it is bug or any other error in game.

You can check Windows 10 like this for yourself
(do not download anything from the link, this is a visual aid only)

Open Task Manager.
Click on the Details tab.
Right-click anywhere on the top row (Name, PID, Status, User Name, CPU, etc.).
Click on Select columns.
Click on Elevated and UAC virtualization.
Click OK.
Look for your process and check the Elevated column for the status. You will see Yes or No indicating if that process is running as Administrator or not.

You can also check the UAC virtualization column to see the status. You will see one of three statuses:
Not allowed - Running as administrator (elevated).
Disabled - Not subject to UAC virtualization.
Enabled - Subject to UAC virtualization.

Well, by this Task manager says : In Elevated Yes, in UAC Not alloved, but in all possible places where u can check/uncheck admin rights is uncheck for running as admin. Have u any idea how i can change this ?

1) Is it written over both steam.exe and Icarus.exe and over Icarus-Win64-Shipping.exe in task manager?
2) Do you run Icarus through Steam client?
3) Do you run Steam client through the 'desktop' icon?
4) Doesn't the 'Steam' icon on the desktop have a 'checkbox' 'as administrator'?
5) You write that you have checked everywhere, describe in detail: what, where and how you check.

6) Do you have a standard 'user' login in windows?

7) Unfortunately I'm on WIN7 and so I don't know exactly how WIN10 works. On WIN7 everything is determined by the setting in the icon {if running from it}, and you also need to check the setting on this parameter of each *.exe file separately {including steam.exe}.

Hi, I checked it right now, then :
1) yes, its written on all three exe files same.
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) No
5) I checked it in shortcut properties and in exe files properties too. Nowhere set to admin
rights. (include compatibility tab).
6) I have just one acc on my pc, (win 11), then admin acc, set as local acc.

[Umpa the Lumpa]

Good news, based on your recommendations (links) i try few things and finaly all working fine. Solution was find how to find control panel in win 11 and change UAC setings on higher level and restart. Its not possible from setings tab. Now task manager says what i need and want. Icarus now does not report any issue. Ughh ..
Many thx for your help
