Description
The issue I am having is that when a program is launched by fman in Windows 10 that requires Administrator privileges, the User Account Control is not automatically focused on, forcing me to alt-tab to it (and it's typically last in the list) before accepting the prompt and continuing.
My most common use case of this is opening .sln files with Visual Studio which I have configured to always run as an Administrator.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 by launching a .sln file through fman when Visual Studio is configured to run as Administrator. The work is done when the User Account Control prompt is automatically focused and can be accepted without using Alt-Tab.
