  1. How do I apply UAC settings for myself (one admin account) only


    I want to disable the UAC (User Account Control) just for myself, an administrator account. I put it on the lowest setting and it applied to the rest of the users and they could easily grant themselves permission. How do I just make it apply for my user account only?

  2. Any way to enable an admin password for UAC in windows 10?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if this helps:



    • Open User Account Control Settings by clicking the Start button.
    • Then type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.

    • Do one of the following:
    • To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click
      OK. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.
    • To turn on UAC, move the slider to choose when you want to be notified, and then click
      OK. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
