Changing the UAC Setting Prompt for Built-In Admin account?

Just wondering if I need to set the following UAC Prompt for the Built-In Administrator account even when its disabled by default? I created my own Admin account during Windows 10 installation, but by default, the Built-In Admin account is disabled. So do I need to set the following from the below tutorial to ENABLE even if the Built-In Admin account is disabled?

Using Admin Account with UAC Prompting for Credentials?

I just installed Windows 10 and my local user account is a Local Admin Account.

However, under Local Security Policy settings, I set the UAC Prompt to Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop (for Admin accounts). Can I also use this account to browse the web, check email even If the UAC is set to Prompt for Credentials? Or, would it be more secure if I create another local account which would be a Standard User Account?

Can malware still cause damage even if the UAC is set to Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop for the local Admin Account?

I am the only one using the computer.

 

Using Admin Account with UAC Prompting for Credentials?

Not possible.
And not relevant - the security concerns are about the ability of malware to bypass the Admin prompt.

That is the recommended course of action.
I use my Admin account routinely and I keep UAC at its max setting. I am taking a risk because new malware might be developed that can bypass the Admin prompt even with UAC at max,
