Edge Chromium 78.0.276.20 run as admin not working?

Hi,

I have Edge Chromium Insider installed on a Windows Server 2012R2 SharePoint 2013 server. When I want to create a new webapplication I have to run IE11 or Chrome as admin so the new button will be enabled. When I run Edge Chromium as admin this button doesn't get enabled.

I think I have found the solution. There is a flag in "Edge://flags" called "De-elevate browser on launch". This setting has value default. When I disable this flag, and run as admin I do see an elevated process..
