List of steam games that run without admin rigts
Hi I would like to ask you all for help. I'm looking for games that works without administrator rights. I had steam installed before everything on my computer (at work) was blocked Right now I can't even update microsoft office because computer asks me for admin password. Steam works ok but most of games in my library asks me for admin password. I discovered that some older games works fine. Here's the list:
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Pirates!
Fallout Shelter
Hard reset (ask for pass but runs without it)
Please share some titles that will work as well.

You don't need to install Steam in the default location.

This.

I use C:\Games\Steam instead of Program Files (x86).

Steam itself works fine And i don't think it'll bee possible to reinstall it without admin rights. The problem is running the games that i own in steam library. I can download and install them but when i click play most of them won't start because computer asks me for admin password. I'm looking for some games that will work without admin privileges

Don't install Steam in the default location and you will never have that issue.

I'll give it a try. But as i said before i think it'll be impossible for me to reinstall it because i dont have admin pass.
Do you know maybe which games will work without reinstalling Steam?

I've never played a game that requires admin rights (and yes, my user doesn't even have them. This isn't just UAC; it's an actual account that is not an admin at all).

For the most part, even installations work. The exception being updates to some libraries that Steam wants to install in public locations; it might pop up UAC for those. However, you cannot make a list of games that do or do not do this, since it depends on what's already installed on the system.

there are 30k games on Steam and most of them do not require admin elevation, this list would be insanely long.

Basically all of them. Between hundreds of games in my library that run without administrative privileges, I think of only two that require them, and those two come with own launchers.
