Settings run as administrator on a shortcut (windows 10)

[ddeerr]

Hello,

 I'm trying to set automatically on a shortcut, the option run as administrator.

I found this topic :

and i tried to create the registry Key

RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers', 'C:\Users\dsa\Desktop\autoitDSA\toto.lnk', "REG_SZ", "RUNASADMIN")
RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers', 'C:\Users\dsa\Desktop\autoitDSA\toto.lnk', "REG_SZ", "RUNASADMIN"

but it doesn't work. I'm on Windows 10 maybe that's the point ?

Anyway, does someone have something to help me please ? otherwise i think i'll try to do it with some mouse actions.

Thanks

Is this an x86/x64 issue and are you using AutoIt3.exe to run the  script?
Have you tried adding 64 to the registry key e.g.: HKLM64  ?

It is a x64, i tried both x32 and x64 compilation with autoit3.exe (the default one with scite ? 3.3.14.2) but it is the same.

I even try to create manually the registry entries (in HKCU and HKLM) in windows, but it stll doesn't work.

Personnal reflexion : maybe i can try to make aregistry comparison after changin it manually, to see where the change applies, i had a software for that before i need to find it.

What exactly isn't working? Is  it the creation of the registry entry or does the registry entry not have the expected result?

the expected result

Reading the linked thread, it talks about the EXE not the LNK file

I do this via registry keys.

Although you have to use the target of the .lnk file and not the lnk file itself.
