Right click on a shortcut and select "Run as Administrator". A Run as different user dialog pops up asking for user credentials.

Create a new empty test.bat file.
Create shortcut to test.bat called test.bat - Shortcut.
Right click on the test.bat - Shortcut link.
A Run as different user dialog popups.
Rerun steps 3 in regular Windows File Explorer. No Run as different user dialog pops up. Instead, the regular User Account Control dialog pops up asking if you want to allow.
Here's another test in WIndows 11 22H2 64-bit using Directory Opus 12.29 x64.
Test: In Directory Opus, right-click on shortcut and select Run as administrator. Expected Result: UAC dialog pops up asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" Actual Result: A Windows Security Run as different user dialog pops up asking for credentials.

Create a shortcut to C:\Windows\notepad.exe on the desktop.
In Directory Opus, navigate to the newly created shortcut on the desktop.
In Directory Opus, right-click on the shortcut.
Select Run as administrator. Instead of a UAC dialog showing up, you will see the Windows Security Run as different user dialog where you have to enter credentials:
Retry same test without Directory Opus
