    Default to PIN for UAC


    I have two accounts in Windows 10 Enterprise:

    Standard User Account (SUA) with does NOT have admin rights
    Admin account which DOES have full admin rights

    The admin account has a password set and a PIN set. I have UAC turned all the way up.

    When I login with the SUA account and try to run something as ad amin I get prompted with the UAC screen as follows:


    Default to PIN for UAC [​IMG]


    I then have to clikc "More Options" and then get prompted with the following:


    Default to PIN for UAC [​IMG]


    I then select PIN:


    Default to PIN for UAC [​IMG]


    and I can enter my PIN and get the access I need for what I am doing.

    The problem is that I have to select "More Options" and then PIN every single time I am prompted by UAC which is annoying.

    Is there a way to force UAC to default to prompt for a PIN rather than a password?

    I have researched this but all the posts talk about setting the PIN at the login screen which is not relevant to what I am trying to achieve. I am interested in setting this for the UAC prompt.

    Thank you!

    :)

    Hi Stan,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Which pin are you referring too?

    User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows that can help you stay in control of your computer by informing you when a program makes a change that requires administrator-level permission. UAC works by adjusting the permission level of your user account.

    Please reply to us with more information.

    Thanks.
