Explanation

In Windows, holding the Shift key while right-clicking on an executable file or shortcut adds the 'Run as different user' option to the context menu. This is the built-in Windows method to launch a program under different credentials without logging out. This is commonly used when a standard user needs to run a program with administrator credentials. FN is a laptop function key unrelated to context menus. Alt + Right-click and Ctrl + Right-click do not produce the 'Run as different user' option in the Windows context menu.
