Have to run as administrator? Run Game not working inside project

Godot Version

Godot 4.3

Question

I had Godot 4.2.2 before and it worked fine, but with this one I had to enable permissions to get it to run, and only when I run as administrator. I got it so the engine can find my project, before it was turning up as ‘missing’ every time I tried to make one. Now I can get into the project, but the ‘run game’ function is having the same problem because it’s not being opened up in administrator mode… it will start to open the program then immediately close it back up unless in administrator mode…
How do I fix the permissions, or my computer settings so I don’t have to run in administrator mode to get it to work properly?

It’s usually a bad idea to switch users when running any process. The application could create or modify files in the name of the administrator, leaving a normal user with permission issues on the filesystem.

I have never had to run Godot with elevated privileges and you typically should never need to.

My suggestion is to restart the project.

If you don’t want to lose anything, you will have to programmatic change the permissions of the project back to the user.
