Based on this comment on one of the tickets here :
workdrive should skip UAC, but that is not true for Windows 10 Pro, I cant tell for other OS, but on each PC startup I get a UAC prompt to let Workdrive mount the project drive.

Additional Information
It would be a nice day if I would not have to allow Workdrive to run each time I power on, reboot or login to my PC account, in fact since I want to allow it to run on each startup, an option to fire and forget would be nice.
Set it to run and forget that it exists, so an option to skip UAC, and run silent would be much appreciated.
I tried to skip this by setting it to run as administrator but then it wont launch at all.

This was prior Work Drive, however, maybe the phrasing isn't ideal :)
Work Drives mounts the project drive for both, the user and the administrator level because of programs run with elevated privileges can't see drives mounted from the user level only and the opposite as well. It mounts first the drive for the user level, then for the admin, the latter triggering the UAC (depending on your Windows settings).
I could potentially add a new startup parameter to skip the UAC but the drive wouldn't be mounted for the administrator level which could lead to some problems.
