there’s software to do this appropriately like ThreatLocker for example but in most cases Auto elevation is a horrible idea from a security standpoint

Gross. Tell your IT director about solutions to this problem, like autoelevate. I mean there’s a security tradeoff but, you can have windows prompts for admins automatically prompt an IT admin to review and enter their credentials or deny and request more info. And it’s a very easy deployment for any intermediate IT person.

Autoelevate does handle this appropriately.
It automatically sends the prompt to an admin for review.
It doesn’t automatically allow anything.

I think there are multiple things called autoelevate then.

Actually, we do have now an approved way to get admin privileges through a dedicated application. However, on my experience if you run one installer it works, but if the installer calls for a second installer (let’s say one for the driver and a ne for the software). So I end up having to still bother IT.

No competent IT director would allow that.

Maybe google it before pretending you know what it does based on the name?
