Internet Explorer is still installed on Windows 10. I needed to open Edge as administrator because I needed to install a certificate. However, that is nobody's business why I need to run something as administrator. Navigate to program files and find the IE executable and run that as administrator. I installed the certificate and it also installed in Edge. I can now open the site in Edge without needed to click through the continue anyway link. Try that and see if it works in for whatever you are trying to do also.

I can give you a very good reason. SQL SErver Reporting Services requires you to run IE (or in this case Edge) as Administrator in order to access admin options for it. Again, it is irrelevant why someone needs to do something. However, since you seem to think that nothing actually needs it and that's why MS built it this way, you are incorrect. In fact, allowing something to run "as administrator" does not necessarily mean it is running in elevated privilege that the user would not have. It is an extra layer of security to prevent you form doing something accidentally.
I think he is making sense.
Sometimes one need to launch a browser with administrator privileges. For example Microsoft Report Server and Report Manager needs a browser launched with administrator privileges

I was wondering what happened after I did a complete reset of WIN10 Pro. I could no longer run Edge or IE 11 browser when logged in with the built-in Administrator account. Now I know you will ask "Why do you want to do this?" I have always installed all software on a PC using the Administrator account and not individual user profiles. It is really as simple as that.
Now checking the Local Security Policy I found the settings it now works again. What I also noticed that there are many parameters other parameters that are either disabled or undefined. Is there a reference document one could refer to read up on these parameters?
I'm not really sure why everyone is being an a$$ and not just answering the question. Not everyone needs a motive colonoscopy when asking a question.
runas /user:administrator "start microsoft-edge:"
I just had to resolve this for the SSRS portal to add a new Data Source.
Easiest solution: use chrome and run-as administrator.
Worked the first time.
Never got Edge to work.
