question_answer What is ShowMyPC non admin windows version?
ShowMyPC automatically goes into non admin mode if the user either cancels UAC prompt or has lowered UAC settings.

In addition, ShowMyPC provides a non admin Show only version of your program.

During a session, some features such as UAC elevation will disconnect the viewer but viewers can reconnect back using the same password.
