Gateway asking for permission everytime you open the app

Every time I try to open the app On-premisses data gateway it asks for permission to modify the disk which requires me to enter windows admin credentials. I know that it is an issue with Windows (it is possible to solve this for the whole system in User Account Control Settings), but I am wondering if it is possible to solve only for this app, without modifying the general configuration on windows.

 

To solve in general, the solution is here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/applications-continue-to-ask-if-i-want-it-to-m...

It is not what I want.

The thing is I do not have access to a admin account.

@aleksvp , Check it installing using the admin account or running as an administrator
