Open Office in Windows 10
How do I eliminate the need to authorize soffice.exe to run every time Open Office is used?

Perhaps he's running as a user and is being asked for the admin's password.
BTW, contrary to common practice, users should not have admin
privileges. They should be asked for the password when installing
software. Otherwise they greatly compromise security and open the door
for malware.
Whenever I set up a Windows computer, I create an admin account and
another for users. There's rarely any reason to run as admin. This is
also the normal practice in Linux.

Is there a box to check that says something like “don’t remind me again” or “use this response from now on?”
This is a warning because the code is not signed, something that is becoming increasingly important on consumer PC operating systems. Windows 10 is raising the bar.

Dennis:
When I click on the Open Office icon a box from User Account Control pops up on the screen:
it asks: Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your PC?
Prog. soffice.exe
Pub.: unknown
File origin: hard drive
I upgraded to Windows 10 on a machine using installed OpenOffice.
Thanks for any help.

I've never seen that.
Please provide more details.
What do you mean
"authorize" -- what exactly is the message and how does it come up?
Then,
did you upgrade to Windows 10 [Home?] on a machine that already had OpenOffice
installed?
