Prevent built Unity .exe file to require admin privileges when running in Windows 10

We have built our unity game with unity 2018.3.0f1 and we are getting a problem when trying to run the built .exe file.

We are using default player settings and development build is unchecked.

Currently the file requires admin privileges to run it successfully, is there a way to prevent this from occurring and allow a standard windows user without admin privileges to run the .exe file?

Also when we try run the .exe file without admin privileges it seems to be running in the background (checked in task manager) but nothing gets launched or even shown in the taskbar.

We have also downloaded other unity games from online and they all have not required any admin privileges to run the game successfully.

It would be great if someone could point us in the right direction for this and provide some advice on how to fix this problem.

 

Thanks for the reply!

We updated our Unity to version 2018.3.0f2 and built an empty test scene. However it still requires admin privileges to run successfully. I have posted below some screen shots of the default settings we used when building. We have also realised that this problem does not occur on previous versions of unity as we built a test scene with Unity version 5.6.6f2 and the built file does not require admin privileges to run successfully.

Is there anything else we can do to fix this?


Built Folder Structure:


Build Settings:


Player Settings:

 

When we run without admin privileges the application (build from Unity 2018.3.0f2) just sits in the background and we can see it in the task manager not doing anything but no application gets launched and we don't see anything in the task bar either.

However it works normally when we build with Unity 5.6.6f2.

 

Yes we have tried it with an empty project too and it still does not run successfully. It just sits in the background so nothing from the unity game really gets executed. Also the output_log.txt does not even get created but it does get created when we run it as Admin.

 

I uploaded it to OneDrive, here's the dump file:

I have reported the bug and my case number is 1117610.

Thank you very much for the workaround. Its great! - we deleted the UnityCrashHandler.exe and it does allow for the built game to run successfully without requiring admin privileges.

I'm not sure why deleting the UnityCrashHandler.exe makes it work though.

 

Hello Sir, did this bug fixed in newer v of unity? I am expecting this bug on 2021.2.12f.
