Windows 10: UAC more intrusive than ever in Windows 10

Before the latest updates in Windows 10, my system would simply open my Autodesk design applications which are legally purchased, licensed and installed using "Run as Administrator".

Now, every time I start one of these apps, your "marvelous" not the actual adjective I wanted to use UAC asks me if I truly, really, Really, REALLY want to allow this app to make changes to my system.

Before you ask, I have already adjusted the settings so that AT THE LEAST it does not waste time "dimming my screen", a misleading reference to making all other things on the screen disappear. In fact, it is set to the lowest setting above turning UAC off entirely, which disabling apparently by your express design creates a host of other issues.

Up to now, for any properly installed application, I have not had to deal with this "male-bovine excrement" MBE.

Please explain to me WHY?

Also since you're probably going to ignore THAT question, please explainHOW I can at least create a "white list" of applications that I already trust to avoid anymore MBE.
