There will be many occasions when you will be needed to run any program/application as an Administrator in your Windows PC/laptop.

Usually, you are not needed to run applications as an administrator but when you are facing some problem with any of your applications then you may need to run that application with the administrative privileges.

By default, Windows does not provide the full privilege to programs in order to safeguard your device from any possible threats, but sometimes this can cause issues with some programs, and those are the situations where you are needed to run any applications as administrator.

If you run any application with administrative privileges then it is the absolute way to run the application with full rights so the application will have the full privileges.

When you are providing administrative privileges to any applications then please keep in mind that that application is from a trustworthy source otherwise it can cause some damage to your device.
