Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

 Problem description: My kid plays Star Stable Online, and has her own account on my computer. This is a regular user account without admin privileges. After an update that installed Game Guard, the game would pop up an AUC prompt every time it was started. Game Guard was removed in a recent update, but the AUC prompts remain.

I just want her to be able to run her game with me having to input my admin password for the AUC prompt.

Attempted fixes: I have reinstalled the game to get rid of Game Guard. I have tried giving her full permissions for the game folder and subfolders.

Recent changes: Nope. Just the regular system updates.

Operating system:W11

System specs: Lenovo Legion laptop. I can dig up the full system specs if they are relevant.

Location: Sweden

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Please take a look at the URL below on how to create a script that will allow you to save your password. You can create a shortcut for her to double-click and execute the game with admin privileges after making the script.

https://superuser.com/questions/521278/how-do-i-add-a-password-to-a-batch-file-to-automatically-authenticate

Your script would look like this

runas /noprofile /user:name-of-pc\name-of-user /savecred C:\path\to\application.exe

You should also limit the ability to edit that script by changing the permissions on it to only allow her user account to read and execute it.

It's-a-me!
You can try setting an environment variable
pre:
__COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER
before launch. This will suppress the prompt and not elevate the process (if it does actually need to do something which had required elevation that will fail though).

 Thanks for the tips :tipshat:

It went away after a recent update and I didn't have to fiddle with custom .bat files and stuff. :)
