Make Jumplist Shortcut Always Run Application as Administrator

See "Option 7" on the following page: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9564-run-administrator-windows-8-a.html

Using the registry, you can set the application to always run as administrator. This solved the jump-list issue for me.

To Set "Run as administrator" in Registry Editor

1. In Regedit, locate the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers.
2. Add a new String value (or edit the existing one) with the name set to the path to the executable (e.g. for VS2012: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe).
3. Set the new key's value to ~ RUNASADMIN (see the link above for more options).

You need to make the whole of VS open as admin, to do so open explorer navigate to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSEnv\VsLauncher.exe

Right click on it and switch to the properties tab and check the always Run this program as an administrator checkbox.

Then click apply to save the setting.
