This is a Windows quirk. When they introduced UAC in Windows 
Vista, several programs required admin elevation to be run, but a 
lot of old programs didn't request it. So Microsoft put in a bit 
of a hack to keep things working: programs named things like 
setup.exe or patch.exe, which typically need to write to 
installed programs, are assumed to need elevation.

There's ways around it:

But it isn't a D thing per se, it is Windows seeing the 
"patch.exe" at the end of the "templOpDispatch.exe" filename 
(default name is to replace the .d with .exe) and assuming it is 
some installed application updater.

Easiest thing to do is to just not call your program that.
