Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt the cmd c/ start "" command mentioned by Micheal simply run the program without administrator rights?
If so why not just go to the program roots folder -> right click on the .exe files and select "Properties" -> Select Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program as an administrator". After that, either make a new shortcut on the desktop or reset icon cache (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html) and the UAC shield icon overlay for that shortcut will be gone. By doing this you can open your non-shield-overlay-shortcut without seeing the splashing screen of the command prompt.
The catch is that the program will just run without administrator rights with "might" limit some of its function (not really sure about this, I havent gotten any issues so far). There are also other methods to launch a program as admin: via a .bat script ( powershell - How to run an application as "run as administrator" from the command prompt? - Stack Overflow ) then create the shortcut of that .bat file or via an elevated shortcut: ( https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html).
These methods worked for me but as my knowledge simply came from a bit Googling, they might be wrong. Any expert input are appreciated. :)
