Windows 10: Can I turn off the UAC beep from the command line?

I am NOT asking about turning on/off UAC, just the beep. This can be manually configured through the UI



I'd like to do this via a script using a command line change.

Seems like this MIGHT involve "control mmsys.cpl sounds" in some way but I have not sorted it out.

Control Panel and Administrator Controls

Also, are you getting the UAC popup with the OK/Yes button missing?

You can turn off UAC in command promt

Run a Command Prompt as Administrator and run this command:

reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

That will turn off this dialog with the missing button and you should be able to proceed . . .

 

UAC not allowing software activation

Once again the so called support engineer did not even read the entire thread before posting yet another solution that did not do any good.

However, I was able to solve my situation without your help after all. My original question was how do I turn off UAC. the method suggested in this thread only turns the notifications for UAC off not the UAC itself. In order to turn off UAC completely,
I went into the registry and turned it off there. After doing this, everything installed perfectly.

Here is a link to read about turning off UAC:

Code: reg add "HKCU\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\WindowsUAC\.Current" /ve /f[/quote] Note, there is no HKLM equivalent, so this command must be run on a user by user basis to affect all users.
