Non-admin users can't disable devices in device manager, I receive an error when trying to do that.
Give the below steps a shot and then test to confirm you can run the EXE as the non-admin account after you complete that as a local admin.
You may try to give the administrator privileges to the file ‘devcon.exe’.
To give administrator privileges
Browse to the location where you have the file ‘devcon.exe’
Right click and select Properties
Go to Compatibility tab
Put a check mark for the option that says ‘Run this program as an administrator’
- Apply the settings and check if you are able to the ‘devcon.exe’ using the command prompt.
Try just checking [below] here first Run this program as an administrator and testing with the non-admin account afterwards to see if it can launch and use the EXE, but if that doesn't work, see below options.
If above doesn't work
If the above options do not work, then select the Change settings for all users option, and then check the Run this program as an administrator option from there. Apply those changes, and then test further with the non-admin account to see if it can launch and use the EXE.
