Yesterday I came across a
customer who wanted to disable User Account Control (UAC). So I thought of
sharing the same with the team.
Most of the time while
troubleshooting we keep getting prompts regarding UAC (User Account Control)
while installing any applications / software which require elevated permission,
especially on Dell Connect. This is the biggest irritation in Windows is the
UAC (User Account Control). Whenever a user tries to perform a task that
requires administrative privileges, the operating system halts the operation
and prompts the user to acknowledge it prior to running the task.
Fortunately, you can easily disable it. Here is how:
·
Launch Control panel and go to Control Panel > User Accounts
and Family Safety > User Accounts > Change User Account Settings >
Slide the bar to the lowest position.
·
Alternatively you can completely disable UAC from Control Panel
> System and Security > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
and from the left panel Local Policies > Security Options. You can disable
or customize UAC by editing items labeled "User Account Control". But
be warned this method will prevent any Metro apps from Launching.
Note: If you disable UAC it will stop warning you when you want to perform tasks. Only users who are willing to accept the risks should disable it. For more information about UAC please click.
