6.1. To automatically run Always PTT as administrator on launch, right click on the Always PTT tray icon, go to the "Always PTT Settings" submenu and select the "Automatically Run as Admin" option.

Always PTT will lose access to the assigned push-to-talk key if you are running a voice audio a program such as Discord as admin, the only way around that is to run Always PTT as admin too. This settings is made optional because it doesn't make sense to run Always PTT as admin all the time unless you do intend to frequently use Always PTT with voice audio programs that run as admin.
