Visual Studio 2019 always run as administrator from the task bar icon

Question

I want Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10 to always run as administrator from the task bar icon. I need to run several solutions as administrator, so admin should be the default.

Note: I want to run only 1 solution without admin privileges. For this 1 solution, using the recent solutions list from the taskbar icon works fine.

VS2017 / VS 2019 Run As Admin from Recent solutions list. This is close, but I still want 1 solution to not run as admin.
Make Visual Studio 2019 Always Run as Administrator from Start Bar Recent Solutions List This is essentially the same question as above. I flagged as a dup.
Visual Studio Run as administrator shortcut This is close, but wants a desktop shortcut instead of a taskbar icon.

I want Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10 to always run as administrator from the task bar icon.

Right-click the Visual Studio icon in your taskbar, or the shortcut on your desktop > right-click Visual Studio 2019 > Properties > Advanced... > Run as administrator > OK > Apply

Now when you open Visual Studio from the taskbar, you should see ADMIN in upper-right corner!
