After experiments... If you put there full path to python program it works without highest privileges (as admin). Meaning task settings like this:

program: "C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe"
arguments: "D:\folder\folder\python script.py"

I have no idea why, but it works even if script uses subprocess and multiple threads.

What I did is I changed task settings: checked Run with highest privileges. And task started to work perfectly while running python [script path]. But keep in mind, that title contains "Administrator: " at the begining... always...

P.S. Thanks guys for pointing out that subprocess is a problem. It made me think of task settings. I had similar problem when one script is running from Windows Task Scheduler, and another one doesn't. Running cmd with python [script path] didn't work for me on Windows 8.1 Embedded x64. Not sure why. Probably because of necessity to have spaces in path and issue with quotes. Hope my answer helps someone. ;)
