Donât run Unity or the Unity Hub with administrator privileges.
Even if your Windows account identifies your role as âAdministratorâ applications will not launch with Administrator privileges unless you tell them to, or unless they ask you for permission to elevate privileges (UAC) which Unity wonât ask for, except during installation.
So unless you explicitly ârun as administratorâ through right-clicking or by modifying the shortcut properties, this should not happen. If you do that, just donât ârun as administratorâ.
If you have no idea why itâs running as administrator and other applications also run with full administrator privileges, then something or someone must have messed with the system. In that case, the system is prone to exploitation by malware or even defunct applications can wreck havok.
Unity will not allow you to run as administrator because even a simple script mistake could easily and irrevocably wipe files on your system, such as running File.Delete / Directory.Delete with an incorrect path. Without admin privileges, such scripts would simply throw an access permission error on protected files/folders.
Thank you for your answer!
But even I havenât run Unity and Unity Hub with Administrator,
it still show that popup anywayâŚ
These properties are for Unity.exe. Can you do the check again for Unity Hub? Because if the Hub is launched as admin it will launch editors as admin as well.
If the Hub also doesnât explicitly run as admin, itâs likely a OS configuration issue meaning all apps run as admin, which would be a high security concern.
