Run as Admin - what problems does it cause?

[cpujunkie]

I was wondering  exactly what issues are caused by running LB/BB as admin. Which emulators have issues, what are the issues. Which utilities and what's their behavior. Any other weird behavior.

The reason I run as admin is to stop those UAC prompts when launching pc games (especially the old ones).

Could Jason make a startup utility / service that could launch just the games and emulators we wanted with admin rights so we don't get uac prompts and LB/BB won't have to run with admin rights? Like a check box somewhere "Launch this with Admin Rights"

disabling uac on Windows 10 doesn't allow windows store apps (uwp) to run or I would (gears of war, super luckys tail, etc). Plus the lil bit of a safety net when using the computer

apparently you can just turn off the prompts but uac is still active? So yeah.. I thought disabling the prompts turned uac off but apparently it just auto excepts and grants elevated rights
