Windows 10: How to change location of the User Account Controls UAC consent prompt force?

By default the UAC consent prompt pops open in a new virtual screen which is a hassle. How do I get it to appear in my main desktop's screen?

UAC (User Account Control)

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get better clarity, please let us know:

• When you say “I lost my UAC password”, do you mean you do not remember the password of the administrator account?
  
• Are you using a standard account to login to the computer?
  
• Are you using a local account or Microsoft account?
  
• How many user accounts do you have on your computer?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to the issue?
  

Ideally, the UAC prompt comes up when an administrative task is performed using a standard account. Whenever a UAC prompt comes up, you will need to enter the administrator account’s password to provide the permission.




For more information, see the section The consent and credential prompts

How User Account Control works.



Please reply with more information on the issue to help you further.
