Mark this isn't a solution to the problem specified.  in my instance we are running Quickbooks Desktop in a remote desktop environment.  Quickbooks should not be asking for administrator privileges to run, there is a problem with the software and it has been occurring for some time between versions of quickbooks, this issue isn't new.  I believe the problem to be related to some update process but I haven't taken the time to track it down, 

In our environment with multiple users on the remote desktop server I have become accustom to just logging in as administrator executing quickbooks with the windows user account with admin privileges then calling back the user to say that its no ok for them to open quickbooks.  This has become increasingly frustrating as we have recently increased our use frequency and number of users executing quickbooks.  I happened upon this thread in my search,  I followed the other recommendations related to quickbooks point of sale but I dont think that has resolved it, only time will tell.  The solutions to disable windows UAC and to force Quickbooks to run as administrator are both disturbing.  I cannot understand why a company the size of quickbooks can't get their act together to so their software functions properly with windows user permissions.  I know this issue has been in a thorn my side for years but it definitely seems to have increased in frequency since we updated to quickbooks 2022.

I am intrigued by a previous user post saying that he created a group that gives certain users executiable permissions for the file to launch quickbooks I am just not yet sure if my problem and his are the same.  I really do think this issue deserves proper attention from Quickbooks support!
