User Account Control keeps popping up when deploying mods

[CRlight]

I recently built a new computer and installed windows 11. Everytime I deploy mods I get a UAC pop up asking to allow vortex to make changes to my device but I never had this happen on my previous build with Windows 10. Is there a way to make it stop asking without turning these notifications off for every app? It's really annoying having to say yes everytime I install a new mod. 

Using Nexus Version 1.13.3

Don't install games in the Program Files folders.

If you are running it as an administrator then it will do that every deployment. This could be because you have Vortex.exe set to run as administrator in compatibility in the file's properties or you have enabled run in elevated mode either explicitly through the elevated mode setting or by using Symlinks for deployment (depending on the game, game directory location and staging area location) which may also require elevated deployments.

Then perhaps you have the UAC set to a higher level than previously.

Thank you! It was the symlinks, I changed it to hardlink and no longer get the pop up.
