Just disable User Account Control in cmd or registry. This is a must quality of life improvement if you work with a lot of random hard drives via dock.

Based on my reading, MS Universal apps will not run as a local admin if UAC is off. Universal apps in Win 10 are calc, photo, settings, edge, etc. Now of course I could care less about edge. Even MS hates it. It appears that these programs run in a "sandbox". Reading around, there seems to be a way to edit the reg to allow it all to work with UAC and local admin accounts.
So turning off UAC is an option and there is a minor price to pay but it seems that you can work around it too.
For us, we setup admin privilege on each local machine via GP (group policy). I have no clue if that's the best way to do it or not. I work in the OS not the NOS.

My observations also don't agree there. One of the very first things I do with any Windows install (Win7, Win10) is turn off UAC. I'm also the sole user account, so by default that has to be admin. Everything works, including MS apps like calculator, photos, whatever. I didn't have to do anything to make it do so.
