Mike,
If you see the shield, it is most likely set to Run As Administrator.
That probably happened back on the old computer and when it got cloned it carried that setting over, maybe with a different administrative user ... so when you re-install it carries it over again.
I'm sure there is a way to disable that flag, but unless you are comfortable with running scripts, it may be a daunting task, and even then you'd need to be an Administrator to do so.

Can you log into the computer as Administrator (user)?
Or does that user not exist as far as you know?

Is your normal user an Administrator?

You can find out by opening a command prompt (cmd) and type the below, then hit Enter
It shows your user and at the bottom will show if that user is an Administrator:

net user "%username%"

In my image it shows this account is in both Administrator and User groups.
