I've just upgraded to Windows 8.1. I have a home machine I use for work, I typically run Visual Studio 2012 as my domain user for work (shift + right click -> run as different user) but use a local account so I don't need to be on the domain.
Having upgraded to Windows 8.1 I'm having two issues:
-
If I'm not on the domain and run VS2012 as my domain user account it tells me my password is incorrect. Adding my computer to the domain remedies this problem.
-
This is the main roadblock: I can't run VS2012 on my domain account in administrator mode. I've added my domain account to Administrators and even logged into the computer with my domain account. If I login with my domain account I can click on VS2012 and I get the UAC popup, so that works. Flipping back to my personal account I can't get it to run as administrator.
I've also right clicked the icon and gone to properties -> shortcut -> advanced and set it to run as administrator there. That checkbox doesn't seem to apply itself when I run as my domain account though. Like I said I've added my domain account to the Administrators group and when I login with my domain account it runs as administrator automatically.
Is there something else I can try?

You can try running Command Prompt as a local admin and than use command:
