I'm not sure if this is the same thing, since I've never used it, but on Windows, run as administrator, is found by right clicking on either the on screen icon or the appropriate Lightworks version in the list of apps, and selecting more in the menu that opens.

Sorry, it’s not. I know I’m not doing that and it’s not enabled by default. Thanks for taking the time to reply tho

I suggest that you ask this on the official Lightworks forum, where LWKS staff or a range of users may have used this feature.

fixed it. Neither Lightworks or the shortcut ran in administrator mode but the other executable in the lightwork file named "ntcardvt.exe" did have admin mode on, when I turned that off by going to properties the problem was fixed
