Stuck with Visual Studio 2010 in admin mode (upgraded)

There are many posts that tell you how to run Visual Studio 2010 as an administrator.
I will probably be very ashamed when I find my answer, but ... My problem is that I can not run Visual Studio NOT an elevated level!

I always have the text "(Admin)" in the title.
I want to be able to debug my application in a non-elevated environment.

I do not have a shortcut / application file marked as "Run as administrator".
Not Devenv.exe, not VSLauncher.exe, not the shortcuts in the Start menu .. nothing is flagged like this, and still Visual Studio works as an "Administrator".

My user belongs to the local administrators group .. but this was not used to enable this administrator mode.
UAC is disabled, but that didn't matter either.

Also marked

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

and removed Visual Studio from the list. Nothing.

Any idea would be appreciated.

I turned on UAC again and what a surprise ... Visual Studio starts up normally again!
Thanks again to Microsoft for understanding everything ...

You can try downloading the VSCommands extension and use its debugging feature as a regular user.
