Windows 11 - Gallery asking for Admin

I'm experiencing an issue with the Gallery app on my Windows 11 device. Whenever I try to access or use the app, it prompts me for administrator privileges

As a quick fix, you can try running the Gallery app as an administrator:

  1. Right-click on the Gallery app icon (either from the Start menu or desktop).
  2. Select Run as administrator.
  3. If prompted, click Yes to allow it.
  4. This may grant you access for that session, but it won’t fix the root cause.
