Any solutions to get past it would help.Desktop was given to me

User Account Control displays administrator names

Hi Devlin,

Thank you for replying and for taking the time to help me with this. I made the suggested adjustments for the standard user and it does prompt me to enter credentials, but only for the password. The username portion of the prompt displays both of the admin
accounts (names) I created on the machine. If possible I would like to have the prompt with blank boxes for the user name and the password.

 

User Account Control displays administrator names

Hi,

You may setup User Account Control to ask for the username and password though it will still depend on the user account type.

To change these settings, follow these steps:

To change the elevation prompt behavior for administrators

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, click
  Run, type secpol.msc in the Open box, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then click
  Security Options.
  
• 
  Scroll down to and double-click User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators.
  
• 
  From the drop-down menu, select one of the following settings:
  
  • Elevate without prompting (tasks that request elevation will automatically run as elevated without prompting the administrator)
  • Prompt for credentials (this setting requires user name and password input before an application or task will run as elevated)
  • Prompt for consent (default setting for administrators)
• 
  Click OK.
  
• 
  Close the Local Security Settings window.
  

To change the elevation prompt behavior for standard users

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, click
  Run, type secpol.msc in the Open box, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then
  Security Options.
  
• 
  Scroll down to and double-click User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
  
• 
  From the drop-down menu, select one of the following settings:
  
  • Automatically deny elevation requests (standard users will not be able to run programs that require elevation, and they will not be prompted)
  • Prompt for credentials (this setting requires user name and password input before an application or task will run as elevated, and it is the default for standard users)
• 
  Click OK.
  
• 
  Close the Local Security Settings window.
  

Let us know how it goes.

 

User Account Control Prompt for Credentials in Windows 10 Pro

Hi there,

The UAC is working is some extend but the end user still can access to some features.

What I need to restrict access to some features as mentioned. When a user is using a standard account with no admin rights and wants to access to the above features that I have described, I need for the UAC windows to prompt and ask for the "administrator
credentials" to continue. This is important because when I need to remote into the device to troubleshot any issues the end-user may have, I can enter my admin credentials and access to any features that I need, but I do not want for the Standard user to access
to the features by themselves.

Example:

Standard user is trying to access to the Control Panel > Then a UAC windows will Prompt asking for credentials > Then, I enter my admin credentials to access to the Control Panel.

Note: I don't want for the Standard user to access Control Panel with his\her credentials.

Thank you.
