Windows 10: HOW DO I DISABLE UAC ON WINDOWS 10 IF I'M NOT ADMINISTRATOR?

Hello. I don't know why , but once i restarted my pc, i'm no longer its administrator , and nobody is. The problem is that i have the uac activated and i can't do any changes to my pc , because it notifies me and i only have the option of choosing no. Please help me.

Administrator forgot password, disable UAC

So the administrator to my desktop forgot their password, and I am unable to login to their account to change anything.

User Account Control has made it virtually impossible to do anything, and without the administrator password, I am unable to disable it. The administrator is unwilling to go to Microsoft.com to reset it, so I am virtually stuck.

EVERY suggestion on the Internet was useless ("open cmd as admin", I don't even have the password), So I need some advice on how to reset the administrator password and to also disable UAC.

 

Windows 10 Built in apps + UAC

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. We understand your requirement in this regard.

Please share these details.

• 
  On which Microsoft account you are trying to disable these apps?
  
• 
  When you say "we have an application in our company, which requires UAC to be disabled for it to work”. Which application you are referring to?
  
• 
  On how many computers you are facing this issue?
  
• 
  Are the systems connected to a domain network?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific to this application?
  

You can see this error message “is app can't open with built in administrator account”, when you try to open built-in apps in built-in administrator. So you need a Microsoft account in order to make use of those built-in apps.



Moreover, I see you already disabled the UAC as per the application requirement that you use as a part of your company. We don’t recommend disabling UAC on to help make your computer secure. However currently we don’t have any option to run those
app with built-in administrator.



I suggest that you provide your suggestions and feedbacks in the dedicated Feedback App. Follow these steps to provide suggestions in Windows Feedback App.

Thank you.

 

Problem with UAC in win 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

To disable UAC prompts, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below:

• In the search bar, type Control Panel and press Enter.
• Click on User Accounts and again click on User Accounts.
• Click on Change User account control settings.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt.
• Drag the box from Always Notify to Never Notify and click on OK.
• Provide password for the UAC prompt (if asked again).

Important: Turning off UAC reduces the security of your computer and may expose you to increased risk from malicious software. We do not recommend leaving UAC disabled.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
